Kawasaki Ex 650 Caf (2010)
2010 Kawasaki Ex 650 Caf
CarHunch analysed 211 real MOT records for the 2010 Kawasaki Ex 650 Caf. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2010 Kawasaki EX 650 CAF passes its MOT about as often as the UK average, with a first-time pass rate of 78.7% versus 80% nationally—essentially on par. However, 16.6% of these bikes have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is a meaningful concern for a used buyer and worth investigating thoroughly on any prospect.
At 12,261 miles median, these machines are running well below typical mileage for their age, suggesting many have been garage-kept or ridden sparingly. The average bike racks up just one failure per test but around four advisories, pointing to minor wear items rather than structural problems—so budget for routine maintenance and always get a pre-purchase inspection that specifically checks brake and suspension components.
What to check before buying a 2010 Kawasaki Ex 650 Caf
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.
