2012 Kawasaki EX 250 KCF 0.2L Petrol · WR12 AAZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 10 June 2025. The maintenance trend is generally stable, though the latest test introduces new concerns regarding the front suspension. The tester flagged a light misting of oil from both the nearside and offside front shock absorbers, indicating the seals are beginning to fail. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 2012 model, with only 2,582 miles recorded over 14 years. This averages roughly 184 miles per year. The record shows very little usage between tests, with only 72 miles added between June 2021 and June 2022, and 72 miles added again between June 2022 and June 2025. Such prolonged periods of inactivity often lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid stagnation. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of the front forks. The oil misting noted in the June 2025 test suggests the dampers require stripping and resealing to prevent further fluid loss and compromised handling. Because the bike has spent most of its life standing, the tyres and brake pads should be checked for age-related hardening or perished sidewalls, regardless of the remaining tread depth. The lack of previous defects between 2018 and 2022 suggests the bike was kept in a clean state, but the recent suspension issues are a typical symptom of a vehicle that has sat idle. Check for signs of corrosion on the brake discs and ensure the fuel system has not suffered from lacquer build-up due to the low annual mileage.
