2012 Kawasaki ZG 1400 CCF 1.4L Petrol · WR12 ACJ

The most recent MOT test conducted on 1 April 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Looking back through the records since 2022, the vehicle has maintained a remarkably consistent and stable maintenance trend, achieving five consecutive clean passes without a single advisory or failure. This suggests a vehicle that has been meticulously maintained or kept in a condition that exceeds the minimum legal requirements for roadworthiness. With a recorded mileage of 36,049 miles over a fourteen year period, the vehicle has averaged approximately 2,575 miles per year. This is considered low usage for a motorcycle of this capacity and age. While this low mileage implies minimal wear on the internal engine components and drivetrain, it often indicates that the vehicle has spent significant periods standing, which presents a different set of mechanical risks compared to a high-mileage example. Given the clean MOT history and low annual usage, the prospective buyer should focus on time-based degradation rather than wear-and-tear. It is critical to inspect the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or hairline cracking, as rubber compounds harden and lose grip over time regardless of the remaining tread depth. The brake system should be scrutinized for binding calipers or surface corrosion on the discs, which can occur when a vehicle remains stationary for extended periods. During a test drive, listen for any unusual noises from the suspension and ensure the brakes bite progressively without shuddering. Attention must also be paid to the health of the 12V battery and the condition of all essential fluids. Brake fluid and engine coolant degrade on a calendar basis through moisture absorption and chemical breakdown, so the buyer should verify that these have been replaced according to the manufacturer's time intervals rather than mileage. Finally, a thorough inspection of the service book is recommended to ensure that oil changes have been performed annually, as stagnant oil can lead to sludge buildup or internal corrosion. Check all fasteners and exposed metal for signs of oxidation that may have developed during periods of inactivity.
