2002 Kawasaki ZX-12R 1.2L Petrol · YG02 PRV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection in September 2024 at 36,009 miles with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend appears to be improving as several mechanical and consumable issues identified in previous years have been addressed prior to the latest test. This suggests that the owner is reactive to minor safety concerns once they are flagged during the testing process. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a machine of 24 years' age, averaging approximately 1,500 miles per annum. There are significant gaps between tests, such as the 809-mile interval between June 2022 and September 2024, and the 879-mile gap in the years prior to that. While this low usage indicates less wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing can often lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids which are not fully captured by mileage alone. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system, as the history shows recurring issues with front brake pads reaching minimum limits in 2019 and 2021, alongside a pitted rear brake disc in 2021. Although these were resolved, the frequency of these alerts warrants a check of current pad thickness and disc condition. The rear wheel bearing noted for having slight play in 2019 should be tested for noise and movement to ensure the condition has not worsened. Given the low mileage and the age of the motorcycle, close attention should also be paid to perished hoses, seals, and the condition of the tyres, specifically the front valve stem damage noted in 2022.
