2008 Kawasaki ZG1400 1.4L Petrol · HG08 MPE

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent pass record over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in September 2025 at 20,787 miles passed, though it introduced the first advisory regarding front brake pads approaching the minimum limit. This represents the only noted concern since 2021, suggesting that the mechanical components have generally remained in good condition without recurring structural failures or significant defects. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a motorcycle from 2008, averaging approximately 1,155 miles per year. Between October 2022 and September 2025, the bike covered 3,723 miles, showing a consistent and limited usage pattern rather than long periods of abandonment. This low mileage indicates that wear on the drivetrain, engine, and suspension is minimal, though the age of the vehicle increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber-based components and fluid chemistry which are not fully captured by the MOT test. A buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the September 2025 advisory indicates the pads are nearing replacement. Given the low annual mileage, it is equally vital to check for perished brake lines, perished seals, and tyre cracking that may result from low use rather than tread wear. Inspect the frame and swingarm for corrosion and verify that the suspension fork seals are not leaking, as long-standing vehicles often suffer from dry seals over time.
