2002 Kawasaki ER5 0.5L Petrol · LT52 VRV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its recent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted in June 2025 at 36,312 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the motorcycle currently meets all safety and environmental standards. While a failure was recorded in early June 2024, the immediate pass on the same day suggests the issue was minor and rectified quickly rather than representing a chronic mechanical failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old Kawasaki, averaging approximately 1,513 miles annually. Between June 2022 and June 2025, the bike covered 5,863 miles, though it saw only 309 miles utilized between the 2024 and 2025 tests. This low usage frequency typically means minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine internals, and braking components. However, such infrequent use often implies the vehicle has sat for extended periods, which can lead to the degradation of fluids and rubber components regardless of mileage-related wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age and stasis rather than high-mile stress. Long periods of inactivity can cause rubber seals to dry out, fuel lines to perish, and fork seals to leak. Inspect the frame for structural corrosion, particularly around the pivot points, as the MOT test does not always detect deep-seated internal rust. Given the low mileage, verify the age and condition of the tyres, as rubber loses its grip over time long before the tread wears down.
