2019 Kawasaki Zx 1002 Bjf Sx SE

CarHunch analysed 141 real MOT records for the 2019 Kawasaki Zx 1002 Bjf Sx SE. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2019 Kawasaki ZX-10R is more reliable than the UK average, with an 86.1% first-time pass rate against the 80% benchmark—a solid result that reflects a well-built sports bike. Only 3.5% have ever suffered a dangerous defect, which is reassuring for a performance motorcycle at this age and mileage.

At a median of just 8,318 miles, these bikes are genuinely low-mileage examples, suggesting owners treat them as weekend toys rather than daily commuters, which supports the strong pass rates. The average bike picked up only 0.18 failures per test and 1.1 advisories, pointing to minor wear items rather than structural problems—but when you're shopping, check the service history carefully to confirm regular maintenance kept these machines in shape.

What to check before buying a 2019 Kawasaki Zx 1002 Bjf Sx SE

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.
