Kawasaki Ex 300 Adf (2013)
2013 Kawasaki Ex 300 Adf
CarHunch analysed 158 real MOT records for the 2013 Kawasaki Ex 300 Adf. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This Kawasaki EX300 passes its MOT first time just 71.3% of the time, which is notably below the UK average of 80%—a real reliability concern for a bike that's now over a decade old. The 12% of machines that have recorded dangerous defects is manageable, but combined with the below-average pass rate, it signals this model needs careful pre-purchase inspection.
The median mileage of 7,563 miles is remarkably low for an 11-year-old bike, suggesting many examples have been garage queens or lightly ridden, which should theoretically help. However, the average of 0.82 failures per test and 2.9 advisories per vehicle indicates these bikes do develop issues—typically maintenance-related rather than catastrophic—so budget for regular servicing and ask the seller for full MOT history before committing.
What to check before buying a 2013 Kawasaki Ex 300 Adf
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.
