Use our detailed year-by-year breakdown and failure analysis below to understand how your specific Z750-p7 is likely to perform.
Motorcycle lighting and signalling — 7.7% of failures
Motorcycle lighting and signalling issues account for 7.7% of MOT failures on the Kawasaki Z750-p7. Motorcycle lighting and signalling issues are a common cause of MOT failure. Regular inspection and maintenance of these components helps ensure your vehicle passes its MOT. Typical repair costs: £100–400. Pre-MOT check: Have this system checked during regular servicing. Look for warning signs like unusual noises, vibrations, or dashboard warning lights.
Identification of the vehicle — 5.1% of failures
Identification of the vehicle issues account for 5.1% of MOT failures on the Kawasaki Z750-p7. Identification failures relate to the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) and registration plate. The VIN must be permanently displayed and legible, and the registration plate must meet British Standard formatting. Typical repair costs: £10–50. Pre-MOT check: Ensure the VIN plate is visible and legible (usually in the windscreen or under the bonnet). Check that number plates are clean, undamaged, and use the correct font and spacing.
Motorcycle tyres and wheels — 5.1% of failures
Motorcycle tyres and wheels issues account for 5.1% of MOT failures on the Kawasaki Z750-p7. 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.
