2009 Kawasaki ZX 1400 D9F ABS 1.4L Petrol · GY09 ADZ

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-05-28 at 17,724 miles recorded a pass, but an identical failed test on the same date and mileage suggests potential inconsistency in testing or data entry. No defects were noted across all entries, indicating no immediate safety-critical issues. However, the lack of detailed fault reports limits insight into maintenance quality. The absence of recurring mechanical or structural problems in the record implies a stable trend, though the sparse data prevents a comprehensive assessment of long-term reliability. The vehicle’s mileage of 17,724 miles over 17 years equates to roughly 1,043 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage. This suggests infrequent operation or prolonged storage, which can accelerate component degradation through corrosion, fluid stagnation, or seal failure. Notably, the 2019-04-24 test at 17,236 miles showed no defects, but the 2020-10-02 tests at 17,716 miles—just 480 miles later—recorded both pass and fail outcomes without explanation. Such gaps in mileage progression and testing consistency raise questions about the vehicle’s operational history and the accuracy of recorded data. A buyer should prioritize inspecting the suspension system for aged bushes or coil springs, as low mileage may mask wear from inactivity. Brake components, including calipers and discs, should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the vehicle has been stationary. Structural integrity, especially around the chassis and frame, warrants scrutiny due to the low usage pattern. While the MOT record lacks specific faults, the minimal mileage and inconsistent testing outcomes necessitate a thorough pre-purchase examination to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness.
