1995 Kawasaki GPZ500S 0.5L Petrol · M760 BFM

The 1995 Kawasaki GPZ500S is presently roadworthy, as the June 14 2024 MOT at 22,046 miles recorded a pass with no defects. The preceding June 10 2024 test at the same mileage also failed without any recorded defects, confirming a consistent outcome and indicating a stable maintenance trend. The recorded mileage of 22,046 miles over 31 years averages 711 miles per year, well below typical usage for a vehicle of this age, suggesting periods of limited operation or long standing intervals; mileage rose from 14,507 miles in October 2022 to 22,042 miles by June 2024, a gain of 7,535 miles in just over two years, indicating a modest acceleration in use after a relatively static period between 2021 and 2022. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the front and rear suspension bushes, coil springs and shock absorbers for signs of binding or corrosion, examine the brake calipers and discs for binding or excessive wear, and assess the chassis and bodywork for structural rust, particularly around the wheel arches and sills, while also verifying the integrity of the exhaust system and emission levels. Given the absence of recorded defects across four MOT tests, the vehicle’s maintenance record appears stable, but the low annual mileage warrants close scrutiny of fluid condition, tyre wear patterns and any concealed corrosion that may have developed during extended periods of inactivity.
