2006 Kawasaki Z750 0.7L Petrol · CU06 DKO

The maintenance trend for this 2006 Kawasaki Z750 remains entirely stable, evidenced by a flawless MOT record. The most recent examination on 6 January 2025 at 24,124 miles passed without a single defect or advisory, mirroring the clean bills of health recorded in December 2023, December 2022, and January 2022. This consistent pass rate indicates a machine that has required no structural or mechanical rectification to meet roadworthiness standards. A prospective buyer must note that this MOT expired roughly six months ago, meaning the machine currently lacks a valid certificate and requires a fresh assessment before road use. The mileage accumulation aligns with exceptionally low usage, averaging just over 1,200 miles annually across its twenty-year lifespan. Between the January 2022 test at 20,074 miles and the December 2022 test at 21,940 miles, the motorcycle covered 1,866 miles. The following year, up to the December 2023 test at 23,780 miles, it added 1,840 miles. Usage dropped off significantly thereafter, with only 344 miles recorded between the December 2023 and January 2025 tests. Such minimal recent use suggests prolonged periods of standing, which introduces specific risks not captured by a static MOT pass. Given the low mileage and extended stationary periods, a physical inspection must focus on the deterioration of perishable components rather than wear from use. Tyre sidewalls require close scrutiny for age-related cracking and flat-spotting, as tread depth may remain legal while the structural integrity degrades from standing under load. Brake systems demand particular attention; caliper pistons can seize and brake discs can surface-corrode when a machine sits idle, leading to binding or reduced stopping power. Suspension seals and fork stanchions should be checked for pitting and oil weep, while the chain and sprockets may suffer from tight spots or corrosion despite minimal wear. A thorough assessment of the fuel system is also prudent, as stale petrol from long-term storage can cause running issues and carburettor blockages.
