2000 Kawasaki W650 0.7L Petrol · V487 DMW

The 2000 Kawasaki W650 demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last five MOT tests, including the most recent 2026-03-30 assessment at 30,045 miles. All prior tests from 2022 to 2025 also passed without issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures over this period suggests the vehicle has been well cared for, with no signs of deteriorating systems or recurring faults. The mileage of 30,045 miles over 26 years equates to an average of 1,156 miles annually, reflecting light usage. The MOT records show steady mileage progression, with intervals of approximately one year between tests. The 2023-04-04 test at 26,019 miles and the 2024-03-25 test at 26,667 miles reveal minimal annual increases, implying periods of inactivity or reduced operation. This pattern aligns with the low overall mileage but does not indicate abrupt wear or mechanical stress, as no defects were flagged. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly the rear shocks and front forks, for signs of age-related degradation, as these are critical for long-term reliability. The low mileage may mask wear in rubber bushings or seals, which can deteriorate over time. Additionally, the clutch system and chain drive should be checked for stiffness or excessive play, as these are common issues in older motorcycles with limited use. While the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or emission failures, a physical inspection is essential to confirm the condition of the frame, exhaust system, and braking components.
