2009 Kawasaki ZX 1400 D9F ABS 1.4L Petrol · GY59 VHV

The current roadworthiness status of this motorcycle is excellent, with the most recent MOT test conducted on 31 July 2025 at 18,432 miles resulting in a clean pass with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend is stable and positive, as the vehicle has successfully cleared three consecutive annual inspections without a single advisory. This suggests the current owner has maintained the machine to a high standard, effectively resolving the mechanical issues identified in previous years. The recorded mileage of 18,432 over seventeen years averages approximately 1,084 miles per annum, confirming a pattern of light, intermittent use. The DVSA record shows minimal mileage accumulation between July 2023 and July 2025, during which the bike covered only 57 miles. While this low usage indicates the bike has not been subjected to high-stress mechanical wear, long periods of inactivity can often lead to fuel system degradation, perished rubber seals, or internal corrosion if the machine was not stored in a climate-controlled environment. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer during prolonged storage. Although the 2022 failure regarding a sticking throttle and a non-functional horn was rectified, the throttle cable and return springs require a manual check to ensure smooth operation and proper lubrication. Given the age of the machine, inspect the brake lines for signs of perishing and verify that the ABS modulator functions correctly, as these systems can seize if the fluid is not flushed regularly. Check the condition of the tyres for flat spots or sidewall cracking, as the low annual mileage suggests they may be aged even if the tread depth remains legal.
