2012 Kawasaki VN900 0.9L Petrol · LF12 AUP

The 2012 Kawasaki VN900 presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across its entire MOT history. The most recent test on 5 July 2025 at 6,924 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories, confirming the machine remains in sound mechanical condition relative to the DVSA criteria. This consistent outcome across five successive annual tests indicates an improving or at least well-maintained trend with no worsening faults emerging over time. Recorded mileage shows extremely low annual use for a fourteen-year-old machine. The odometer moved from 5,952 miles at the 20 June 2020 test to 6,924 miles by 5 July 2025, a total accumulation of just 972 miles over five years, averaging under 200 miles per year. The gaps between tests are regular and annual with no lapsed periods; the clean record at each point suggests the previous keeper stored the bike for extended intervals rather than subjecting it to daily wear. Sparse but clean data limits deep fault analysis, though absence of advisories on tyres, brakes, or suspension is notable. A buyer should still inspect in person for issues low-mileage storage can mask. Prolonged standing risks degraded suspension bushes, flat-spotted tyres, and corroded brake discs or calipers despite the tester recording no defects. The exhaust and emissions passed, yet older Kawasaki twin-cylinder units can develop internal corrosion when idle for long spells. Verify the actual condition of the chain, sprockets, and coolant hoses before purchase. The MOT record implies careful, infrequent use by an owner who avoided neglect, but physical inspection remains essential given the bike's limited running history.
