2008 Kawasaki ZR 1000 B8F 1.0L Petrol · MX08 FCD

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness as evidenced by a history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 14 July 2025 at 22,438 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This consistent performance across the last five tests suggests that the mechanical and structural components have been kept to a standard that avoids failing the DVSA requirements. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,247 miles per year. Between July 2022 at 21,440 miles and July 2025 at 22,438 miles, the bike covered only 998 miles. A significant temporal gap exists between the October 2020 and July 2022 tests, which suggests periods of long storage or inactivity. While the low usage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often introduces risks related to age-related degradation rather than mechanical mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage rather than friction wear. Check for perished rubber elements, including fuel lines, brake hoses, and fork seals, which can crack over time regardless of distance travelled. Inspect the bike for corrosion on the frame and swingarm, as standing vehicles are more prone to surface rust. Given the low mileage, also verify the age of the tyres to ensure the compound has not hardened or lost grip despite having tread depth.
