Should I check the MOT history before buying a 1991 Kawasaki Ke100 B10?

No MOT data — worth knowing

Got a specific Kawasaki Ke100 B10 you're checking out?

The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.

This 1991 Kawasaki KE100-B10 is a lightweight motorcycle, not a car, and falls outside the standard UK MOT light-vehicle database—so the pass rate figures shown here are not reliable for drawing conclusions about reliability. Motorcycles are tested under different regulations and inspection protocols than cars, making direct comparison to the 80% car average meaningless.

What we do know is that the 130 examples in this cohort show very low mileage (median 3,999 miles), suggesting these are either lightly used survivors or museum pieces rather than regular road bikes, and almost no recorded failures or advisories. If you're considering one, focus on its storage history, fuel system condition (especially after decades of sitting), and whether it has been properly recommissioned—the real risks with vintage bikes this age are corrosion, perished rubber, and seized engines, not MOT-test defects.

MOT statistics not available

We have 130 1991 Kawasaki Ke100 B10 vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.

There are a few reasons this can happen:

Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
