Kawasaki Ex 400 Glfa (2020)
2020 Kawasaki Ex 400 Glfa
CarHunch analysed 129 real MOT records for the 2020 Kawasaki Ex 400 Glfa. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2020 Kawasaki EX 400 GLFA has a first-time pass rate of 74.3%, which sits 5.7 percentage points below the UK average of 80%—a meaningful gap that suggests these bikes need more attention to pass their tests. Only 3.9% have ever recorded a dangerous defect, so safety-critical issues are not a widespread concern here.
The median mileage of 5,487 miles is quite low for a four-year-old bike, indicating light use across the cohort, yet these vehicles still average 0.18 failures and 0.9 advisories each, pointing to minor wear on consumables like brakes and chains rather than engine trouble. Before buying, have any prospective purchase inspected for tyre condition and brake pad wear, as these are the most likely reasons for test failures on lightly-used sportbikes.
What to check before buying a 2020 Kawasaki Ex 400 Glfa
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.
