UK

**A note on this data:** The 1984 Kawasaki AR 125-B1 is a lightweight motorcycle, and MOT records for bikes are held separately from the car database used here—so these statistics reflect only a small sample (661 vehicles) and should be treated as indicative rather than definitive. What we can see is that the petrol models in this cohort achieved an 86.7% first-time pass rate, which sits comfortably above the UK car average of 80%, and dangerously defective faults are vanishingly rare at just 0.1% of vehicles tested.

With a median mileage of around 27,600 miles for machines now 40 years old, these bikes have been lightly used relative to their age—typical of hobby or weekend riders rather than commuters. The absence of failures or advisories in the test data suggests the surviving examples are either well-maintained or naturally robust, but buyers should remember that a 1984 bike will need careful pre-purchase inspection for corrosion, electrics, and fuel system condition regardless of what MOT records show. Get a pre-purchase inspection from a Kawasaki-familiar mechanic before committing.

MOT statistics not available

We have 661 1984 Kawasaki Ar 125 B1 vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

  • Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
  • Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
  • MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
  • Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
