2014 Kawasaki ZR 0.8L Petrol · FP14 FZC

The 2014 Kawasaki ZR presents an entirely stable and unblemished maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at its most recent MOT on 12 November 2025 at 17,879 miles. Not a single defect or advisory has surfaced across the entire recorded history. This indicates a motorcycle that has either been meticulously maintained or subjected to such minimal use that component wear remains negligible. The mechanical condition appears entirely sound on paper. The mileage accumulation aligns with exceptionally light usage, averaging roughly 1,490 miles per year over its twelve-year lifespan. Between the 2021 test at 12,761 miles and the 2022 test at 13,476 miles, the machine covered just 715 miles. The following year, it accrued 1,233 miles, reaching 14,709 miles by November 2023. Mileage then increased slightly to 16,471 miles by November 2024, representing 1,762 miles of use, before rising only 1,408 miles to reach the current 17,879 miles by November 2025. The data shows no sudden spikes or alarming gaps, merely consistent, low-intensity riding. Despite the flawless MOT record, a buyer must inspect the machine for the specific ailments caused by prolonged standing and low mileage rather than high wear. Twelve-year-old rubber components, including suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and brake hoses, will degrade through age and ozone exposure regardless of mileage. A close examination of the tyre date codes is essential to rule out dangerous perishing. The tester flagged no corrosion, but a physical inspection of the frame welds, brake calipers, and exhaust system remains prudent to ensure storage conditions have not induced surface rust or seized pistons. Verify that the battery holds charge and that the fuel system has not suffered from stale petrol degradation during long stationary periods.
