Kawasaki Ke100 B10 (1991)
1991 Kawasaki Ke100 B10
CarHunch is tracking 130 1991 Kawasaki Ke100 B10 vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1991 Kawasaki KE100-B10 is essentially a museum piece rather than a roadworthy vehicle—with a 1.1% first-time pass rate against the UK average of 80%, these bikes are almost universally failing their MOTs. The petrol variants fare no better at 1.2%, and while dangerous defects are rare, the near-total failure rate makes this a serious red flag for any prospective buyer.
The median mileage of 3,999 miles suggests these are old stock that has seen minimal use over three decades, yet they're still racking up failures at an extraordinary rate, indicating systematic issues with aging components rather than wear-and-tear problems. Before considering one of these bikes, get a full pre-purchase inspection from a specialist—the MOT data tells you that cosmetic condition and low mileage mean nothing if the fundamental mechanical systems have deteriorated beyond practical repair.
We have 130 1991 Kawasaki Ke100 B10 vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 1991 Kawasaki Ke100 B10
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.
