2002 Kawasaki W650 0.7L Petrol · WU52 HTJ

This 2002 KAWASAKI W650 presents an exceptionally strong record of roadworthiness, having passed eight consecutive MOT tests without a single defect or advisory recorded. The latest inspection on 2025-12-11 resulted in a clean pass, reinforcing a consistent pattern of mechanical integrity throughout its documented history. This indicates a stable and reliable performance during official examinations over a significant period. The motorcycle's recorded mileage of 12,766 miles over approximately 24 years of age is notably low, averaging around 532 miles per year. While this suggests very light usage, it also means that many components have aged rather than worn out through extensive operation. There are no significant gaps in the MOT testing history, indicating regular, albeit minimal, annual use. Given the low mileage and age, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of components susceptible to degradation from time and inactivity rather than just mileage-based wear. This includes checking all rubber items such as tyres, brake hoses, fuel lines, and engine seals for perishing, cracking, or hardening. The condition of the brake fluid should be assessed, along with the functionality of both front and rear brake calipers to ensure they are not binding or seizing from lack of regular use. Furthermore, attention should be paid to the battery's health, the condition of the drive chain and sprockets for any signs of corrosion or stiffness, and the overall integrity of the electrical system. While the MOT history is impeccable, a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified motorcycle technician is strongly advised to identify any age-related issues that may not manifest as MOT failures but could require attention soon. During a test ride, listen for any unusual engine noises, check for smooth gear selection, and assess the damping of the suspension for any signs of fluid leaks or reduced effectiveness.
