2002 Kawasaki ZX-12R 1.2L Petrol · GX02 UOS

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 7 October 2025 at 40,572 miles resulted in no defects recorded, continuing a trend of perfect MOT results spanning the last five years. This stability suggests that the owner has been proactive with maintenance and that the vehicle does not suffer from recurring mechanical or structural failures that require intervention. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,690 miles per year. Between June 2021 and October 2025, the bike covered only 1,079 miles, moving from 39,493 to 40,572 miles. This low usage indicates the vehicle has been used sparingly or kept in storage for long periods. While this reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, long-term standing often presents different issues than high mileage, such as the degradation of rubber components and fluids. Since the MOT record shows no previous advisories, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by age and stagnation rather than mileage. A buyer must check for drying or cracking in fuel lines, perished brake hoses, and fork fork seals which may leak after periods of inactivity. Inspect the frame for surface corrosion and check the swingarm bushings as low-use vehicles can sometimes hide environmental damage over decades. Verify that the tyres do not have flat spots or age-related cracking despite having sufficient tread depth.
