Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to recurring ex
When viewing this green Kawasaki ZR, your primary focus should be the exhaust system. The MOT history shows the 'exhaust noisy' defect has appeared in three out of the last four tests. You should check for loose heat shields, exhaust bracket wear, or internal baffle issues that might be causing this noise.
Additionally, check the tyre condition closely. The most recent MOT in March 2026 noted a front tyre worn close to the legal limit. Ensure the seller has replaced this or factor the cost of new rubber into your negotiation. Ask for any service records that might supplement the MOT data, particularly regarding the engine and exhaust assembly.
As a 1043cc motorcycle, running costs will be higher than smaller capacity bikes. Fuel economy will depend heavily on riding style, but you should budget for premium petrol.
Insurance groups for 1000cc+ motorcycles can be significant, so obtain a quote using the AK14PBX registration before committing. Maintenance costs should include regular chain lubrication, tyre replacements, and addressing the recurring exhaust issues noted in the MOT history. Estimated annual running costs typically cover fuel, insurance, and routine servicing.
Physically inspect the exhaust system from the manifold to the silencer. Because 'exhaust noisy' has been a recurring MOT defect (2023, 2024, and 2026), listen for any irregular vibrations or rattling while the engine is idling and under load.
Check the front tyre immediately, as the 2026 MOT recorded it as being near the legal limit. Inspect the brake pads and discs, and ensure all lights and indicators are functioning correctly, as these are common points of failure in motorcycle MOTs.
This 2014 Kawasaki ZR is a 1043cc petrol motorcycle with 21,946 miles recorded at its last MOT in March 2026. The MOT history shows a pattern of 'exhaust noisy' defects appearing in 2023, 2024, and 2026. While it has passed its tests, the recurring nature of these issues and a recent tyre advisory suggest a need for thorough mechanical scrutiny.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Kawasaki ZR model to provide a comparative benchmark.
