2007 Kawasaki Z1000 1.0L Petrol · AE56 THZ

The 2007 Kawasaki Z1000 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 6 June 2025 at 8,274 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the previous four years. Recorded mileage sits at 8,274 miles against a 19 year lifespan, equating to roughly 435 miles per year. The DVSA entries show almost static use: the machine covered only 235 miles between the July 2021 test at 8,039 miles and the June 2025 test at 8,274 miles. Such low annual accumulation points to long standing periods rather than active riding, with no gaps in testing and no advisories ever raised. A buyer should still inspect for issues that low-mileage, long-dormant machines develop despite clean MOT sheets. Standing time promotes fork seal weeping, flat-spotted tyres, and corrosion on brake discs and exhaust headers even when the tester records no defect. The absence of advisories means suspension bushes, wheel bearings, and structural frame points were not flagged, but these warrant hands-on checks. Given the spotless record and minimal use, previous ownership appears to have stored the bike rather than neglected mechanical care. Verify battery condition, coolant integrity, and brake caliper freedom before road use, as static storage hides wear the annual test did not capture.
