2010 Kawasaki VN 1700 B9F Voyager 1.7L Petrol · DC60 DJC

The 2010 Kawasaki VN 1700 B9F Voyager shows a stable roadworthiness trend. The most recent test on 12 July 2024 at 26,712 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in July 2023 and July 2021 also passed cleanly. No advisories or mechanical faults appear across the available history, indicating consistent compliance with minimum statutory standards. The recorded mileage sits at 26,712 miles against a 16-year lifespan, an average of roughly 1,670 miles per year. The machine gained only 6,950 miles between July 2021 (17,702 miles) and July 2024 (26,712 miles). A two-year gap separates the 2021 and 2023 entries, with the 2023 test showing 19,762 miles. Low annual use and the clean record suggest light, infrequent riding rather than neglect, though prolonged standing can conceal perished seals or flat-spotted tyres not caught in a static test. A buyer should still inspect the bike in person for age-related degradation the MOT will not flag. Check suspension bushes, fork seals, and rear shock condition for weeping or hardening after years of low use. Examine brake calipers for binding and disc surfaces for corrosion, as limited mileage promotes moisture ingress. Verify the exhaust system and frame for structural rust, particularly around welded joints and the sidestand mount. Confirm tyre sidewalls are free from cracking and that the date codes show viable rubber. The sparse, clean history implies careful storage, but physical inspection remains essential on a machine of this age.
