Kawasaki Ke125 A10 (1984)
1984 Kawasaki Ke125 A10
CarHunch analysed 127 real MOT records for the 1984 Kawasaki Ke125 A10. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 1984 Kawasaki KE125 A10 matches the UK average with an 80% first-time MOT pass rate, and critically, none of the 127 bikes analysed ever recorded a dangerous defect—a genuinely clean safety record for a 40-year-old machine. The zero average failures and advisories per vehicle suggest these survivors are either exceptionally well-maintained or represent only the most roadworthy examples still in regular use.
With a median mileage of just 13,670 miles, these bikes are lightly used classics rather than daily commuters, which explains both the clean MOT history and the high carhunch score of 50. If you're considering one, the real question isn't whether it will pass MOT—it's whether the specific example has been stored properly and serviced regularly, since age and dormancy matter far more than mileage at this point.
What to check before buying a 1984 Kawasaki Ke125 A10
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.
