Kawasaki Kle 650 Caf (2010)
2010 Kawasaki Kle 650 Caf
CarHunch analysed 258 real MOT records for the 2010 Kawasaki Kle 650 Caf. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2010 Kawasaki KLE 650 CAF is slightly more reliable than the UK average, with an 82% first-time pass rate versus 80% nationally, and only 17.8% of vehicles have ever recorded a dangerous defect—a manageable figure for a 14-year-old adventure bike. The median mileage of 15,045 is modest for the age, suggesting these bikes are either weekend warriors or well-preserved examples rather than hard-used commuters.
With an average of 1.12 failures per test and 4.4 advisories, you're looking at straightforward wear-and-tear issues rather than structural problems; the advisory count is typical for machines this age. Before buying, insist on a current MOT printout and specifically check the last test results for any pattern of brake or suspension advisories, which are common on adventure bikes with variable maintenance histories.
What to check before buying a 2010 Kawasaki Kle 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.
