2016 Kawasaki SC 0.3L Petrol · WM65 HXB

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a slight shift toward mechanical wear. The most recent test on May 13, 2024 at 22,627 miles identified a binding rear brake. While this did not result in a failure, it indicates the onset of caliper seizure or piston seal issues that require attention. This contrasts with the earlier years of service where the motorcycle passed with no recorded defects. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,260 miles annually. There is significant gap in usage between September 2022 at 11,265 miles and May 2024 at 22,627 miles, where over 11,000 miles were covered in quick succession. This irregular pattern suggests the bike may sit for long periods. Such low-frequency use often leads to rubber degradation and fluid-related corrosion in moving parts, which aligns with the mechanical issues observed in the latest test. A buyer should inspect the front suspension specifically, as the light misting on both offside and nearside shock absorbers noted in 2022 suggests the seals are beginning to fail. Given the time elapsed since that advisory, these units may have progressed to active leaks. The rear brake assembly also must be inspected for free movement to ensure the binding is not causing overheating or uneven wear. Additionally, check the age and condition of the tyres for flat spotting or cracking, as low mileage often masks age-related rubber fatigue.
