2012 Kawasaki ZX 1400 FCF ABS 1.4L Petrol · FL08 ATH

The 2012 Kawasaki ZX 1400 FCF ABS presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 8 December 2025 at 111,617 miles. The tester recorded zero defects, indicating the motorcycle currently meets all required safety and emissions standards. This unbroken string of passes demonstrates consistent upkeep, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged over the recorded history. Accumulating 111,617 miles over fourteen years equates to roughly 7,973 miles annually, a typical usage rate for a machine of this type. The annual intervals show steady, predictable mileage gains: 5,860 miles between December 2022 and December 2023, and 3,420 miles between December 2023 and December 2024. The most recent year saw a slightly lower accumulation of 5,471 miles, suggesting consistent but not excessive use. There are no alarming gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer readings that would indicate long-term standing or severe neglect. Despite the flawless MOT record, a pre-purchase inspection must focus on high-mileage consumables and age-related deterioration typical of a 14-year-old superbike. Examine the brake discs and pads for wear, and check the calipers for any sign of binding or corrosion that might not yet constitute a test failure. Inspect the suspension linkage, swingarm bearings, and suspension bushes for play, as these components endure significant stress over 111,000 miles. Verify the condition of the chain and sprockets for elongation and hooking, and assess the tyre dates and tread depth, since older rubber degrades regardless of tread remaining. The dual MOT entries on 2 December 2024 at 106,146 miles—one pass and one fail with no recorded defects—represent a DVSA data anomaly rather than a mechanical fault, but the subsequent clean pass confirms the machine's current roadworthiness.
