2015 Kawasaki ZR 1.0L Petrol · BS10 KEL

The most recent entry on 18 August 2025 shows a pass with no defects recorded, indicating the vehicle met the minimum roadworthiness requirements at that test. However, the same date also carries a failure entry with no defects listed, a pattern mirrored exactly one year earlier on 30 July 2024, where a pass and a failure are both logged. This duplication suggests the motorcycle was retested on the same day after a rectification, a routine occurrence under the MOT retest policy, and means the record is technically clean on paper. Across the five entries spanning 2023 to 2025, there are no advisories and no recurring component flags, so the documented trend is stable rather than worsening or improving. Against an 11-year age, the recorded mileage of 19,404 miles equates to roughly 1,764 miles annually, which is low and typical of a vehicle used sparingly or stored for extended periods. The data provided is too sparse to chart precise annual mileage jumps, but the three recorded tests from April 2023 through August 2025 align with a relatively consistent pattern of light use. Low annual mileage does not automatically equate to good condition, as long periods of standing can lead to deteriorated brake calipers, seized components, perished rubber bushes, and dried-out brake fluid, none of which an MOT necessarily interrogates unless a specific component is tested on the day. For a buyer, the absence of advisory notes means there is no documented record of brake disc wear, tyre tread issues, suspension component degradation, or corrosion, so a physical inspection is essential. Particular attention should be paid to the operation of both brake calipers after standing, the condition of the hydraulic brake lines and fluid, the state of the coil springs and suspension linkages, and any signs of structural corrosion on the frame. The chain, sprockets, and tyres should also be assessed for age-related perishing even if tread depth remains acceptable, as a lightly used motorcycle can carry consumables well past their service life. A pre-purchase mechanical inspection by a qualified technician remains the only reliable way to verify condition beyond the MOT certificate.
