1982 Kawasaki Z1300 1.3L Petrol · EAT 19Y

The most critical point is that the MOT expired in April 2022. With today being June 2026, this machine has been without a valid test certificate for over four years, so you cannot legally ride it on the road until it passes a fresh inspection. The mileage is exceptionally low at 15,438 miles over 44 years, averaging roughly 351 miles annually. The MOT history is clean, showing a stable mechanical condition with no defects recorded between 2019 and 2022. However, such low usage often indicates long periods of storage, which can be more damaging than regular use. You should be wary of deterioration caused by standing still rather than wear from driving. Rubber components such as tyres, brake lines, and seals may have perished, and the fuel system could require cleaning due to old fuel residue. Before purchase, inspect the tyres for cracking and check the brake fluid for contamination. Look closely for corrosion on the forks and chrome work, as these often suffer during inactivity. Ensure the engine turns over freely and runs smoothly after a warm-up period.
