Got a specific Kawasaki Kh125 K5 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 is a 1990 Kawasaki KH125-K5 motorcycle, and MOT data for this cohort is not available in the DVLA light-vehicle database — motorcycles of this age are either too old to require MOT testing or fall outside the standard testing regime. What we do know is that the 325 bikes analysed have a median mileage of 22,632 miles, which is low for a 34-year-old machine and suggests most surviving examples are either cherished classics or have seen limited use. If you're considering one, focus on the service history, the condition of consumables like tyres and brake pads, and whether it has been stored properly — a nearly four-decade-old motorcycle will live or die on maintenance, not MOT pass rates.
We have 325 1990 Kawasaki Kh125 K5 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
