2017 Kawasaki Er 650 Hhf
CarHunch analysed 451 real MOT records for the 2017 Kawasaki Er 650 Hhf. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2017 Kawasaki ER 650 HHF passes its MOT first time in 86.7% of cases, which is a solid 6.7 percentage points above the UK average of 80%, suggesting these bikes are generally well-maintained by their owners. Dangerous defects show up in only 10.4% of vehicles tested, which is low enough that it's not a major buyer concern.
With a median mileage of just 8,292 miles for a seven-year-old bike, most of these are lightly used machines, and the 0.47 average failures per vehicle reflects that gentle ownership pattern. When you're shopping, check the service history and brake condition carefully—those are where the 2.3 average advisories tend to cluster—but overall this is a reliable middleweight that rewards basic maintenance.
What to check before buying a 2017 Kawasaki Er 650 Hhf
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.
