This 2019 Kawasaki ZX-6R has a first-time MOT pass rate of 69.1%, which is 10.9 percentage points below the UK average of 80%—a meaningful gap that suggests these bikes need closer attention than most vehicles on the road. The dangerous defect rate of 5.3% is low, so safety-critical failures are not a major concern here.

These bikes are running relatively light at an average of 6,759 miles, which is actually quite low for a five-year-old sports bike and suggests many owners use them seasonally. The average of 0.37 failures and 0.9 advisories per test points to minor wear items rather than structural problems, typically brake and exhaust work on a sportsbike of this age. Before buying one, have the previous MOT history checked to see whether the failures are recurring issues or one-off problems—this will tell you whether you're looking at routine maintenance or a neglected example.
