2014 Kawasaki Z800 0.8L Petrol · GU14 RFZ

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, exhibiting a consistently clean maintenance record. The most recent test conducted on 21 August 2025 at 19,643 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, mirroring the results of the previous four inspections. This stability suggests that the previous owners maintained a proactive approach to addressing the mechanical and structural requirements that typically trigger an MOT failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,637 miles per year. Data shows a steady but gradual increase, moving from 13,906 miles in March 2022 to 19,643 miles in August 2025. The short-cycle test between March 2022 and August 2022 indicates the vehicle may have sat stationary for extended periods. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components rather than mechanical friction. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must inspect for specific issues associated with low-mileage, long-standing vehicles. Focus on dry rot in tyre sidewalls, perished rubber seals, and degraded brake lines. Because the motorcycle has not been used frequently, check for surface corrosion on the brake discs and potentially seized calipers due to a lack of use. Additionally, inspect the fork seals for leaks and ensure the chain is not excessively dry, as low mileage can sometimes lead to neglected lubrication of moving parts.
