Kawasaki Ar125 B6 (1990)
1990 Kawasaki Ar125 B6
CarHunch is tracking 151 1990 Kawasaki Ar125 B6 vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
The 1990 Kawasaki AR125-B6 has a 70% first-time MOT pass rate, which trails the UK average of 80% and suggests these 34-year-old bikes need more attention than typical vehicles. The good news is that none of the 151 machines analysed recorded dangerous defects, so safety failures aren't a pattern here.
These bikes are averaging just over 25,000 miles, which is relatively low mileage for their age, though that may reflect light or seasonal use rather than exceptional preservation. With zero average failures and advisories recorded, any issues tend to be isolated rather than systemic—but the sub-par pass rate means you should budget for pre-MOT inspection and have a trusted mechanic check the basics (fuel system, brakes, electrics) before purchase.
We have 151 1990 Kawasaki Ar125 B6 vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 1990 Kawasaki Ar125 B6
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
