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 17 MOT tests on record with a 71% pass rate and 6,561 miles. The vehicle's MOT status is currently 'Not valid' and has been on SORN for years, making it unroadworthy and uninsurable.

The vehicle shows extremely low mileage of 29,658 miles over 23 years, with suspiciously low readings before 2007 and 2009, and a significant drop in annual usage from 2017 onwards.

Things to check

  • MOT expired 2019-06-06; vehicle is currently not roadworthy and uninsurable.
  • Very low mileage (29,658 mi) for a 23-year-old vehicle, suggesting long periods of inactivity.
  • Recurring brake failures (2014, 2017) and tyre issues (2009, 2012) indicate systemic neglect.
  • Mileage significantly below UK average (1,920 mi/yr vs 8,000 mi/yr) raises odometer fraud concerns.

Working in its favour

  • No recent MOT failures or advisories, suggesting the owner has been proactive in addressing issues.
  • Consistent retesting and immediate rectification of failures, showing responsible owner actions.
  • No evidence of major structural corrosion or hidden accident damage in the MOT record.
  • The vehicle has been consistently registered and maintained since its first registration in 2003.
