2020 Kawasaki KLE 300 CJF 0.3L Petrol · VK69 WDR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a shift toward neglected consumable upkeep. While it passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 10,333 miles, the tester identified multiple issues that were not present in previous years. The appearance of both front and rear tyres reaching the legal limit simultaneously, combined with a leaking rear shock absorber, indicates that the vehicle is now moving toward reactive rather than preventative maintenance. The mileage pattern is consistently low for a six-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,722 miles per year. There is a notable gap of nearly 1,400 miles between January 2023 and December 2023, followed by a rapid accumulation of 1,676 miles in the twelve months leading up to the December 2025 test. This low-frequency usage suggests the bike may have sat stationary for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seal integrity despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer must physically inspect the rear shock absorber immediately, as the light misting recorded in the December 2025 test suggests the beginning of seal failure that will eventually lead to total loss of damping. The recurring advisories regarding tyre wear across January 2025 and December 2025 demonstrate that the previous owner ignored basic safety requirements until they neared failure. Given the low mileage, the inspection should also check for dry rot cracking in the tyre sidewalls and corrosion on the brake discs and calipers to ensure that the lack of use has not resulted in age-related material fatigue.
