This 2001 Kawasaki has 24 MOT tests on record with a 79% pass rate and 6,037 miles. While it has a valid MOT, the mileage is highly suspicious and requires thorough investigation.

Working in its favour

  • Valid MOT until 2026-06-27, indicating current roadworthiness.
  • No recent MOT failures or dangerous defects recorded since the last test.
