On the safety side, the most frequently flagged dangerous fault is tyre tread depth is below minimum requirements of 1.0mm.

If you're viewing a Kawasaki Ex 650 Khf with an expired or recently passed MOT, ask the seller whether any dangerous faults were found and fixed during the last test.
A typical Kawasaki Ex 650 Khf owner drives around 1,061 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres.

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.
