1997 Kawasaki ZZ-R1100 1.1L Petrol · P56 UDD

The 2024 MOT on 2024-07-13 recorded a PASS with no defects, indicating the vehicle met safety standards at 39,259 miles. This follows a 2023 MOT (37,076 miles) and 2022 MOT (35,494 miles), both also passing with no defects. The most recent valid test shows the bike is in good condition, but the 2021 MOT history reveals prior issues. A 2021 MOT on 2021-05-20 recorded a FAIL due to multiple defects, including a non-functional horn, rear brake binding, a missing engine cradle bolt, and inoperative stop and registration plate lamps. These issues suggest potential neglect or mechanical degradation, though subsequent MOTs show repairs were addressed. The 2021 failure occurred at 34,393 miles, with the next PASS at 35,494 miles in 2022, indicating improvements were made. The trend since 2021 shows stabilization: no defects in the last three MOTs, despite the 2021 failure. However, the 2021 issues—particularly the missing engine cradle bolt—highlight a structural concern that could affect safety if not fully resolved. The low mileage (1,354 miles per year) suggests infrequent use or long periods of inactivity, which may lead to corrosion, seized components, or degraded fluids. The vehicle’s age (29 years) and low mileage create an ambiguous wear profile.
