2010 Kawasaki VN 900 CAF Custom 0.9L Petrol · CP10 YXT

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean inspection record over the last three years. Following the most recent test in July 2022 at 9,482 miles, the motorcycle passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in earlier years were successfully rectified. However, as the last MOT was conducted four years ago, the current roadworthiness status is unverified and requires a fresh inspection to ensure continued safety standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 593 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap in usage between January 2019 and July 2020, where the bike covered 2,434 miles in eighteen months. While low mileage generally reduces drivetrain wear, it also suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and fuel-related issues not captured by a standard MOT test. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components affected by long-term storage and low use. The July 2020 test at 8,437 miles flagged a front tyre worn to the 1.6mm limit, suggesting that basic consumable maintenance was neglected when the bike was used. Inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking or age and check the brake fluid for moisture contamination due to age. Given the 2019 failure for excessive exhaust noise and headlamp aim, verify the integrity of the exhaust silencer and ensure the lighting assembly is correctly aligned to avoid dazzling oncoming drivers.
