2012 Kawasaki Z1000 1.0L Petrol · AX61 TXR

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a perfectly clean MOT history over the last five years. The most recent test on 17 October 2025 at 22,585 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a stable trend of flawless inspections since 2021. This consistency suggests the owner has proactively maintained the motorcycle to meet testing standards without recurring mechanical failures or safety concerns. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,600 miles per year. Between October 2021 and October 2025, the vehicle covered only 5,244 miles, indicating infrequent use or long periods of dry storage. While this low mileage reduces the wear on the engine and drivetrain components, the significant gaps between annual tests, such as the 753 miles covered in the last year, can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluids that age by time rather than use. Given the clean digital history, a buyer should focus their physical inspection on signs of low-mileage storage rather than mechanical wear. Check for cracking or perished perished fuel lines, hoses, and tyres, which often occurs regardless of distance traveled. Inspect the front fork seals for weeping and examine the brake discs for surface pitting, as stationary vehicles can develop corrosion on exposed metal surfaces. Additionally, verify the drive chain condition and sprocket for rust, ensuring that the low usage has not resulted in neglected lubrication during long periods of inactivity.
