2014 Kawasaki EX 0.3L Petrol · LS14 WJF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 27,212 miles passed, the tester flagged rear brake pads as reaching the minimum limit. This follows a failure in March 2024 where the front brake pads failed for being critically thin, suggesting that braking components are only addressed once they trigger an inspection failure. At 12 years old, the recorded mileage of 27,212 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 2,268 miles per year. The usage pattern shows inconsistent intervals, with 1,245 miles covered between March 2024 and February 2025, and another 1,415 miles leading into the April 2026 test. This low-frequency use often leads to age-related degradation, such as perished rubber components or fluid contamination, despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer must physically inspect the rear link suspension bushes, as the March 2024 test specifically identified a worn suspension pin or bush in this area. Although the vehicle passed subsequent tests, these rubber elements are prone to cracking when a vehicle sits for long periods. The braking system requires a thorough check for uneven wear or seized calipers, given the history shows multiple instances of pads being operated at or near their safety limits before replacement.
