2015 Kawasaki ZR 0.8L Petrol · AU65 WHZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent inspection on 28 May 2025 at 17,313 miles. This result indicates that the motorcycle currently meets all statutory safety and environmental standards. While a failure occurred in March 2024, the immediate rectification and subsequent pass eight days later at only 9 additional miles suggests that the owner is responsive to identified mechanical faults rather than allowing them to persist. The usage pattern is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,574 miles per year. Between the March 2022 test at 13,787 miles and the March 2024 test at 16,683 miles, the vehicle covered only 2,896 miles over two years. This low frequency of operation reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components. However, the long intervals of inactivity implied by such low mileage can lead to the degradation of fluids, seals, and rubber components which are not always captured by the MOT test alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on rubber-related components that suffer from age rather than mileage. Check for perished cracks in the fork boots, fork seals, and brake hoses, as these become brittle when a vehicle sits. Given the low mileage, inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and ensure the calipers are not seizing due to lack of regular use. Additionally, examine the tyres for flat spots or sidew cracking, as the rubber may age out despite the tread depth remaining sufficient.
