2024 Kawasaki VN 0.9L Petrol · AE72 EXG

The 2024 Kawasaki VN presents a stable and unblemished mechanical record, demonstrating consistent roadworthiness across its brief history. The most recent MOT test on 9 January 2026 at 4,948 miles passed without any defects or advisories, mirroring the clean pass recorded on 18 February 2025 at 1,510 miles. This indicates a maintenance trend that is entirely stable, with no recurring mechanical faults or emerging issues to suggest neglect or underlying component failure. The mileage accumulation pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a machine of this age. Between the February 2025 test at 1,510 miles and the January 2026 test at 4,948 miles, the motorcycle covered 3,438 miles over an eleven-month period. While this confirms the bike was actively ridden rather than left standing entirely, the annualized rate of roughly 2,474 miles remains low. Such minimal use typically limits wear on consumables like brake pads and tyres, though prolonged stationary periods can cause alternative issues like tyre flat-spotting or brake disc corrosion. Despite the flawless MOT record, a physical inspection should focus on components susceptible to low-mileage deterioration rather than high-mileage wear. Examine the tyres closely for sidewall cracking or date-code ageing, as rubber degrades with time regardless of tread depth. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting that can develop during short journeys or standing periods, which might not yet cause a binding fault but will compromise braking efficiency. Inspect the suspension seals and fork stanchions for oil weeping, and verify the condition of the drive chain and sprockets for correct tension and lubrication, as infrequent use can lead to rust formation even with minimal mileage.
