2010 Kawasaki Zx 1400 Daf Abs
CarHunch analysed 330 real MOT records for the 2010 Kawasaki Zx 1400 Daf Abs. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2010 Kawasaki ZX 1400 DAF ABS posts an 81.8% first-time pass rate, just above the UK average of 80%, suggesting average reliability for a 14-year-old sports bike. The 11.8% dangerous defect rate is reassuringly low, so serious safety issues aren't a widespread concern with this model.
These bikes show relatively modest mileage at 17,313 miles median (20,176 average), which is reasonable for their age and suggests owners aren't thrashing them hard. The average of 0.84 failures and 3.5 advisories per vehicle points to minor wear items and maintenance gaps rather than structural problems—before buying, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on brake fluid condition, tyre age, and chain wear, as these are typical motorcycle wear items.
What to check before buying a 2010 Kawasaki Zx 1400 Daf Abs
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.
