1984 Kawasaki KL250 0.2L Petrol · B531 UDV

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passes over the last decade. The most recent test in July 2024 at 15,630 miles resulted in a pass with only a minor advisory regarding a slightly damaged headlamp lens. This follows a five-year clean streak starting in 2019 where no defects were recorded, suggesting that the mechanical components have remained well-maintained despite the motorcycle's significant age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a machine from 1984, averaging approximately 372 miles per year. There is a notable gap in the records between January 2006 and June 2013, during which the bike covered only 30 miles. Since 2013, the usage has remained minimal, often increasing by less than 50 to 100 miles annually. While this low mileage limits wear on the drivetrain and braking system, it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components and internal fluid breakdown due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension, as the record shows recurring issues with the shock absorbers. Between 2013 and 2016, the tester flagged misting on the nearside stanchion, leading to a failure in 2016 for a leaking offside front shock absorber seal. The history also notes persistent oil leaks around the front sprocket and general engine areas between 2014 and 2015. Verify that these seals have been professionally replaced and ensure that these historical leaks have not returned since the more recent MOT passes.
