2016 Kawasaki EX 0.3L Petrol · FP66 VFZ

This Kawasaki EX shows a consistently clean MOT history with no defects recorded across the last three annual tests, all passing on the most recent due date in July 2024. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has avoided major mechanical or structural issues during its low-mileage service life. However, the most recent test occurred just over two years ago, meaning the current roadworthiness status is not confirmed beyond that date. Given the vehicle’s age and the typical wear patterns of a motorcycle this old, a thorough pre-purchase inspection is essential to verify that components like the suspension bushes, chain tensioning system, and electrical connections remain in sound condition. The recorded mileage of 12,477 miles over approximately ten years indicates extremely light use, averaging around 1,250 miles annually. This pattern is unusual for a motorcycle of this age and suggests prolonged periods of storage rather than regular riding. The consistent mileage increments between tests—ranging from 199 to 213 miles per year—rule out rapid wear or neglect, but it also implies that consumable parts like tyres, brake pads, and chain links may have been replaced irregularly. The lack of mileage gaps between tests is reassuring, as it indicates the vehicle was likely stored in a manner that prevented excessive degradation. Given the clean MOT record, the primary focus of a pre-purchase inspection should be on components prone to deterioration even with low mileage. The suspension system, including coil springs, forks, and bushings, should be examined for wear or corrosion, particularly if the bike has been stored outdoors. The braking system—discs, calipers, and hydraulic lines—must be checked for binding or uneven wear, as moisture can cause seizing in long-stored components. Electrical connections, especially those for lighting and instrumentation, are also critical, as oxidation can occur even with minimal use. Finally, inspect the frame and fuel system for any signs of corrosion or leaks, as these are common issues in stored motorcycles. The absence of MOT failings does not guarantee these areas are flawless.
