2009 Kawasaki VN 900 B9F Classic 0.9L Petrol · BF59 RSO

This Kawasaki VN 900 presents a clean and stable maintenance record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 30 May 2026 at 19,434 miles, passed with zero defects. This outcome is consistent with the preceding five annual tests, all of which recorded no failures or advisories. The trend is demonstrably stable, indicating a motorcycle that has been kept in sound mechanical order with no recurring faults. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 2009 machine. Between the May 2022 test at 15,149 miles and the May 2026 test at 19,434 miles, the bike covered just 4,285 miles across four years, averaging approximately 1,071 miles per annum. The annual increments are remarkably consistent, with no sudden spikes or prolonged gaps in testing that might suggest extended periods of neglect or unrecorded use. This pattern points to light, regular riding rather than long-term storage. Despite the clean MOT history, a low-mileage motorcycle of this age warrants careful physical inspection. Seals, gaskets, and rubber components such as fork seals, brake hoses, and suspension bushes can perish from age and infrequent use rather than mileage alone. Tyres may appear serviceable but could be well beyond their recommended age, with date codes worth verifying. The exhaust system, fasteners, and any exposed steelwork should be checked for surface corrosion, particularly if the bike has been garaged in fluctuating conditions. A prospective buyer should also verify the condition of the brake discs and pads, as light use can lead to uneven pad deposits or disc corrosion that an MOT may not flag as a failure. The drive belt, final drive, and all fluid levels should be inspected, as long intervals between use can allow moisture ingress and fluid degradation. The clean record is encouraging, but age-related deterioration remains a factor that paperwork alone cannot fully capture.
