2016 Kawasaki ZX 1.4L Petrol · LT16 LRN

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward minor mechanical attention after several clean records. In the June 2025 test at 22,282 miles, the tester flagged a slightly loose rear drive chain and a fluctuation in front brake effort. These findings represent a departure from the perfect records of 2023 and 2024, suggesting that while the bike remains functional, components are now beginning to require adjustment. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old machine, averaging 2,228 miles per year. Between June 2021 and June 2025, the vehicle covered 8,763 miles, confirming consistent low-usage patterns. However, the gap of 3,649 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests suggests periods where the motorcycle sat for extended durations. Such intermittent use often leads to the degradation of rubber components, tyre flat spots, and fluid oxidation rather than mileage-related wear. A buyer should specifically inspect the front braking system to determine the cause of the fluctuation noted in 2025, which often points to warped rotors or a sticking caliper piston. The drive chain requires a thorough tension check and lubrication to ensure it has not stretched beyond adjustment limits. Given the 2022 advisory regarding a worn rear tyre at 14,039 miles, the age of the current tyres should be evaluated against tread depth, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from rubber rot before the tread reaches the legal limit.
