1998 Kawasaki ZX-6R 0.6L Petrol · R158 FPV

The 1998 Kawasaki ZX-6R has a current roadworthiness status of passed, with the most recent test on 2025-07-28 at 17,125 miles indicating a stable maintenance trend. This is reassuring, as the vehicle has consistently passed its MOT tests without any defects recorded in recent years. The recorded mileage of 17,125 miles, accumulated over approximately 28 years, suggests a low annual mileage of around 612 miles per year. This is a notable aspect, as such low mileage can indicate lighter use or extended periods of inactivity, potentially leading to issues with consumable wear, suspension, and brakes. A review of the MOT history reveals no notable gaps or rapid mileage accumulation, with the most significant mileage increase being 135 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's brakes, suspension, and structural integrity in person, as these components are commonly affected by low mileage and inactivity. The binding rear brakes, flagged in the 2023 test, are a particular concern, and the buyer should verify the condition of the brake discs and calipers. Additionally, the suspension bushes and coil springs may require inspection to ensure they are not compromised by prolonged inactivity. A thorough examination of the vehicle's underside and frame for signs of corrosion or rust is also essential, given the vehicle's age and low mileage. It is also advisable for the buyer to inspect the tyres, as the failure to pass the test twice on tyre tread suggests basic upkeep was skipped in the past. The buyer should verify the condition of the tyres, wiper blades, and other consumable items to ensure they are in good working order.
