2005 Kawasaki Z1000 1.0L Petrol · PL05 TXG

A history of stable roadworthiness is marked by occasional minor electrical faults and tyre wear, culminating in a pass on 03 August 2026. This followed a failure on 29 July 2026 due to a non-functional nearside front direction indicator, a pattern mirrored by a previous failure in May 2019 for a faulty front stop lamp. Aside from these lighting issues, the record shows a consistent ability to meet minimum safety standards. The recorded mileage of 28,973 miles is low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 1,380 miles per year. Of particular note is a significant gap in the testing history between June 2021 and July 2026. Such a prolonged absence of MOT records suggests the motorcycle may have been stationary for several years, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components and the stagnation of fluids. Immediate attention is required for the front tyre, which was flagged as worn close to the legal limit in the August 2026 test. Given the previous advisory for a worn rear tyre in 2017 and the recent front tyre issue, a full inspection of the tyre tread depths and sidewall integrity is necessary. During a test drive, the buyer should check for any uneven wear patterns that might indicate suspension misalignment or worn steering head bearings. Because the vehicle was off the road for a substantial period, the buyer should verify the operational status of all electrical systems, specifically the indicators and stop lamps that have previously failed. Listen for any abnormal noises from the engine or drivetrain during acceleration and deceleration to ensure no components have seized or degraded during the period of inactivity. Check for any signs of corrosion on exposed metal surfaces or binding in the brake calipers that may have occurred while the vehicle was stationary.
