2011 Kawasaki ZG 1400 CBF 1.4L Petrol · LS61 UDY

The 2011 Kawasaki ZG 1400 presents a stable overall maintenance trend, culminating in a clear pass on January 27, 2023, at 21,722 miles with an advisory for a rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. The machine has missed its annual test window for over three years relative to the current date in July 2026, meaning it has likely spent a prolonged period laid up in storage and requires a fresh MOT test before legal road use. Averaging roughly 1,448 miles per year over its fifteen-year lifespan, the total mileage of 21,722 miles is exceptionally low for this tourer class. The accumulation shows steady use in its early years, climbing from 4,163 miles in June 2015 to 14,216 miles in June 2019, followed by much slower progression to 21,722 miles by January 2023. This sparse recent usage pattern confirms lighter duties but highlights the risks associated with long periods of standing. Prospective buyers must conduct a thorough physical inspection of specific recurring mechanical vulnerabilities documented across the history. The braking system demands close scrutiny given a June 2019 failure for a fractured offside front brake disc, alongside repeated past advisories for worn discs, thin pads, and fluctuating brake effort in June 2015 and June 2018. Rolling chassis components also need careful evaluation due to recorded play in the front wheel bearing during January 2021 and slight play in the rear wheel bearing during January 2022. Finally, check the exhaust system integrity to ensure the missing clamp noted in 2022 was properly rectified, and budget for an immediate replacement of the rear tyre flagged as worn in the last test.
