2006 Kawasaki ZX 1000 D6F 1.0L Petrol · MX06 AAY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 23 January 2026 at 17,985 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean test results over the last five years, indicating the motorcycle has been kept in a condition that meets minimum legal standards without recurring failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old machine, averaging roughly 899 miles per year. The record shows a period of relative inactivity between 13 April 2021 at 9,791 miles and 26 August 2022 at 10,425 miles, where the bike covered only 634 miles over sixteen months. More recently, usage has increased significantly, with the odometer climbing from 10,728 miles in January 2024 to 17,985 miles by January 2026. While the MOT history is clean, the low overall mileage and periods of standing suggest a buyer should focus on age-related degradation rather than wear-and-tear. Check for perished rubber components, including fuel lines and tyre sidewalls, as these often crack regardless of mileage. Inspect the brake calipers for seizure and check the brake fluid for moisture contamination, as stagnant fluid can lead to internal corrosion. Verify the condition of the fork seals and the rear shock absorber for leaks, as seals can dry out and fail when a bike sits for extended periods. A physical inspection should also confirm the absence of structural corrosion on the frame and swingarm, which the MOT tester may not have flagged if the bike remained superficially clean.
