2018 Kawasaki ZX 1000 Sjfa KRT Replica 1.0L Petrol · F22 HAV

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 27 April 2026, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in mechanical compliance. While the motorcycle maintained a clean record for several years, the April 2026 testing period introduced two distinct faults. The tester initially flagged a non-functioning front stop lamp and a noisy exhaust during the failed test on 11 April 2026 at 17,034 miles. Although the vehicle passed the subsequent retest three weeks later at 17,049 miles, the emergence of these issues after years of defect-free results suggests a shift in the vehicle's upkeep or the onset of component degradation. The mileage pattern indicates very light usage, averaging approximately 2,131 miles per year over its eight-year lifespan. The recorded data shows a consistent, low-mileage progression from 10,056 miles in February 2021 to the current 17,049 miles. There was a notable period of lower activity between March 2025 and April 2026, where the mileage only increased by 3,174 miles in thirteen months. This low annual mileage often implies the vehicle has spent significant time stationary, which can lead to specific maintenance requirements despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the exhaust system to ensure the noise noted in April 2026 was a simple loose fitting rather than a structural failure or a leak at the manifold. Because the vehicle has been ridden so infrequently, you must also inspect the fuel system for degradation and check the tyres for age-related cracking or flat spots, as low mileage does not prevent rubber perishing. Confirm the electrical integrity of the lighting system is robust, given the recent failure of the front stop lamp, and check that all seals and hoses remain supple after periods of inactivity.
