2000 Kawasaki ZX-6R 0.6L Petrol · X164 ADB

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT test on 09 May 2025 at 6,698 miles where no defects were recorded. This follows a long period of consistent compliance starting from 2015, where the motorcycle passed without any advisories, suggesting that the primary mechanical and structural components remain well-preserved over the last decade. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 26-year-old machine, averaging approximately 258 miles per year. There is a significant nine-year gap between the 2015 and 2024 tests, during which the bike covered only 122 miles. While this low usage indicates minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of inactivity often lead to material degradation rather than mechanical wear. The data shows the vehicle has rarely exceeded 300 miles per annum, which confirms a history of light use rather than regular daily commuting. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on components affected by long-term storage and age. The 2011 failure for a tight drive chain and the 2013 failure regarding a damaged rear tyre valve stem indicate that basic maintenance items were occasionally neglected when the bike sat stationary. Given the low mileage, the buyer should specifically inspect rubber components for cracking, specifically brake lines and tyre sidewalls, as these perish regardless of mileage. The 2012 advisory regarding the front mudguard touching the tyre should also be re-checked to ensure no mounts have shifted or corroded over time.
