2005 Kawasaki ZX-12R 1.2L Petrol · DX05 EHC

The vehicle presents a consistent and stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 28 January 2026 at 46,921 miles returned a pass with no recorded defects or advisories. This follows a series of consecutive passes dating back to December 2021, indicating that the vehicle has met minimum statutory requirements without any flagged issues regarding structural integrity, braking systems, or lighting. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a 21-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,234 miles per year. The data shows a steady, incremental increase in distance covered, moving from 40,364 miles in December 2021 to 46,921 miles in early 2026. This pattern suggests regular, light usage rather than long periods of stationary storage, which helps mitigate certain risks associated with age, such as perished rubber seals or seized components. While the MOT record is exceptionally clean, the low annual mileage means the vehicle has not been subjected to the heavy mechanical stress typical of high-mileage motorcycles. A buyer should focus on inspecting age-related degradation that MOT testing does not always capture. Specifically, examine the condition of the fork seals, brake hoses, and fuel lines for signs of cracking or perishing. Given the low usage, rubber components and tyres may show more age-related fatigue than actual wear. The absence of historical advisories regarding brake discs or suspension components is a positive indicator. However, a physical inspection of the chassis for surface corrosion and the drive chain for excessive wear or corrosion is recommended. The consistent pass history suggests a well-maintained machine, but the lack of heavy usage necessitates a close look at any fluids or gaskets that may have dried out due to the vehicle's age.
