2016 Kawasaki ZX 1.0L Petrol · AP16 OFJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a persistent pattern of deferred consumable component replacement. The most recent test in October 2025 at 16,311 miles confirmed a pass despite flagging that both front and rear tyres are reaching their legal wear limits. While the bike continues to pass, the recurring nature of the advisories suggests the previous owner only addresses mechanical issues as they approach failure thresholds rather than performing preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,630 miles per year. Data shows a consistent progression from 9,860 miles in September 2021 to 16,311 miles in October 2025. This low usage often results in less mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it can also lead to degradation of rubber-based components and corrosion due to long stationary periods. The intervals between tests are regular, indicating the vehicle has been kept within a standard testing schedule despite the low distance covered. A buyer must focus specifically on the front braking system, as the tester has flagged a slight fluctuation of brake effort in every test since 2022. This indication often suggests warped front discs or a faulty master cylinder which requires close inspection for surface pitting. The rear brake pads were also noted as close to the minimum limit for three consecutive years between 2022 and 2024, confirming a habit of reactive maintenance. Given the low mileage, a physical inspection of the tyres for age cracking or flat spotting is also essential to ensure the rubber has not perished despite having sufficient tread depth.
