About Kawasaki Kxf MOT Data
The Kawasaki Kxf is a rare vehicle in the UK, with 84 MOT test results recorded in our database spanning 0 manufacture years. It has an overall MOT pass rate of 69.0% and a failure rate of 31.0%, which is slightly above the UK average of approximately 37%.
For Kawasaki Kxf owners, these results suggest a reliable vehicle that generally passes its MOT without major issues. Focus your pre-MOT checks on lamps, reflectors and electrical equipment and motorcycle tyres and wheels for the best chance of a first-time pass. Use our detailed year-by-year breakdown and failure analysis below to understand how your specific Kxf is likely to perform.
Lamps, Reflectors and Electrical Equipment — 13.1% of failures
Lamps, Reflectors and Electrical Equipment issues account for 13.1% of MOT failures on the Kawasaki Kxf. Lighting failures cover all external lights: headlights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, fog lights, and reflectors. A single blown bulb will cause an MOT fail. This is one of the most preventable failure categories. Typical repair costs: £5–50. Pre-MOT check: Walk around the car and check every light — headlights (dipped and main beam), side lights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, hazard lights, reverse light, rear fog light, and number plate lights. Replace any blown bulbs before the test.
Motorcycle tyres and wheels — 11.9% of failures
Motorcycle tyres and wheels issues account for 11.9% of MOT failures on the Kawasaki Kxf. Tyre failures include tread depth below the legal minimum of 1.6mm, cuts, bulges, exposed cords, and incorrect tyre pressure. Tyres are one of the most common and easiest-to-prevent MOT failures. Typical repair costs: £50–200 per tyre. Pre-MOT check: Check tread depth with a 20p coin — if the outer band is visible, the tyre is too worn. Look for bulges, cuts, or embedded objects. Ensure all tyres match the recommended size and load rating.
Motorcycle brakes — 7.1% of failures
Motorcycle brakes issues account for 7.1% of MOT failures on the Kawasaki Kxf. Brake-related failures include worn brake pads, corroded brake discs, leaking brake lines, and faulty brake servos. These are safety-critical components — any brake deficiency will result in an MOT fail. Typical repair costs: £150–400. Pre-MOT check: Listen for squealing or grinding noises. Check brake pedal feel — if it feels spongy or goes to the floor, have the system inspected immediately. Look at brake pad thickness through the wheel spokes (minimum 3mm).
