2022 Kawasaki EX 400 Lpfnn 0.4L Petrol · PX72 URG

A defining mechanical point for this 2022 Kawasaki EX 400 LPFNN is the tyre tread condition – both front and rear tyres were flagged as being close to the legal limit at the September 2025 MOT, even though the test otherwise recorded a pass with no failures. This singular advisory, set against an otherwise clean MOT history, highlights tyre wear as the primary road‑worthiness concern at present. With only 3,757 miles logged since its first registration in 2022, the average annual accumulation is roughly 940 miles, which is markedly below typical usage for a sport‑bike of this age. Such low mileage suggests the machine has spent considerable time stationary, meaning wear on engine, transmission and brake components is likely minimal, but age‑related degradation of rubber and polymer parts can occur irrespective of distance travelled. The absence of any testing gaps – a single MOT recorded in 2025 – means there is limited insight into how the bike’s condition may have evolved over the intervening years. When inspecting the bike, give the tyres immediate attention: verify tread depth with a gauge, look for uneven wear patterns that could indicate mis‑alignment or suspension issues, and examine the sidewalls for cracks, dry rot or ageing indicators. A tyre that is near the legal limit will need replacement promptly, and any signs of delamination or hard spots should be treated as a red flag. While the MOT did not note suspension faults, low‑usage bikes can develop stiff or corroded bushings, so listen for clunks or knocks over bumps and feel for any play in the rear swingarm and front fork bearings during a short ride. Beyond the tyres, assess the condition of the battery and any rubber seals that may have been idle for extended periods. A battery that has sat unused can lose capacity, so check voltage and look for terminal corrosion. Inspect the coolant hoses, fuel lines and oil seals for any evidence of drying, cracking or leakage, as time rather than mileage can compromise these components. During a test ride, note any abnormal pedal feel, steering pull or unusual noises from the drivetrain, which would warrant a more detailed mechanical inspection before committing to purchase.
