Our Verdict
This 2008 Kawasaki ER6 is a sensible used buy thanks to a clean MOT history with no failures across the last five tests. The main caution is a noted loud exhaust on the most recent 2025 test, which may need attention or replacement.
Given the very low recorded mileage of 9,135 miles, confirm the reading is genuine with old MOT certificates and any service records, as low-use bikes can still suffer from perished seals or flat spots if stored poorly. The 2025 MOT noted a loud exhaust, so budget around £150-£300 for a replacement or check whether it is a deliberate aftermarket can. Service history is important on a 2008 machine; look for regular oil and filter changes and chain maintenance given the age.
As a 649cc petrol motorcycle, the ER6 is economical to run with typical real-world fuel economy of 50-60 mpg, keeping fuel costs low for commuting or leisure use. Road tax for a bike of this age and size is generally inexpensive, and insurance groups for the ER6 are moderate, often appealing to newer riders. Estimated annual running costs including fuel, tax, insurance and basic maintenance are around £600-£900.
The 2025 MOT specifically recorded an exhaust loud advisory at 9,135 miles, so inspect the full exhaust system for corrosion, leaks or non-standard parts before purchase. Otherwise the MOT history shows no failures and no defects recorded between 2017 and 2022, but check tyres, brake discs and the chain and sprockets for age-related wear given the 2008 build date. Confirm the odometer matches the MOT mileage progression from 8,195 in 2017 to 9,135 in 2025 to rule out any discrepancy.
The black 649cc petrol ER6 first registered in April 2008 has covered just 9,135 miles as of its June 2025 MOT, an exceptionally low figure for an 18-year-old motorcycle. Every MOT from 2017 to 2025 passed with no failures, and only the latest test flagged a loud exhaust as an advisory. With no aggregate model reliability data available, the individual history is the best indicator and it shows consistent, light use.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Kawasaki ER6, so assessment relies solely on this vehicle's individual test history.
