The most common problems on the Kawasaki Ej 800 Abf are tyre tread depth is below minimum requirements of 1.0mm (8 recorded failures), stop lamp does not illuminate immediately a brake applies (3), and exhaust excessively deteriorated (1). These are the faults most likely to cause an MOT failure on this model, so check for them carefully on any test drive or pre-purchase inspection. Many are wear-and-tear items that can be budgeted for, but a car that's already failing on multiple fronts may signal neglected maintenance.
On the safety side, the most frequently flagged dangerous fault is tyre tread depth is below minimum requirements of 1.0mm. Dangerous faults cause an immediate MOT failure and mean the vehicle is not roadworthy until repaired. If you're viewing a Kawasaki Ej 800 Abf with an expired or recently passed MOT, ask the seller whether any dangerous faults were found and fixed during the last test.

Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
