AI verdict CAUTION 60/100

AI analysis by CarGPT, generated 11 June 2026 from this vehicle's MOT record. Not professional advice — always inspect before buying.

This 2003 Kawasaki has 10 MOT tests on record with a 80% pass rate and 9,500 miles. While no recurring failures are present, the vehicle's age and very low usage warrant significant caution.

The vehicle recorded only 21,459 miles in 23 years, with suspiciously low annual usage (e.g., 307 miles in 2013) that is highly inconsistent with typical UK vehicle usage.

Things to check

  • Extremely low mileage: 21,459 miles in 23 years (Jan 2003 to Jul 2016) — well below UK average.
  • Mileage significantly below cohort: 21,459 mi vs typical 95,117 mi for a 2003 Kawasaki.
  • Mileage anomalies: Suspiciously low usage before Jul 2016 (130 mi/yr equivalent) and very low overall.
  • Vehicle is 23 years old with no recent MOT validity (last valid 2017-07-12).

Working in its favour

  • No recurring failures: All 2 test failures were immediately rectified, showing responsible owner actions.
  • Clean recent MOT pass: The vehicle passed its last MOT test on 2016-07-12 without any failures.
  • No dangerous defects: No DANGEROUS-rated defects have ever been recorded on this vehicle.
  • Low annual mileage: The car has consistently low annual mileage, suggesting light use and minimal wear.
