1985 Suzuki GSX 1100 1.1L Petrol · B916 GWJ

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status as evidenced by four consecutive clean MOT records. The most recent test on June 2, 2025 at 7,252 miles passed with no defects or advisories, mirroring the results of tests dating back to 2022. This suggests the motorcycle has remained in a consistent condition and has not suffered the mechanical failures typically associated with older machinery. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 41-year-old machine, averaging approximately 177 miles per year. The recorded mileage remained static at 7,252 miles between 2022 and June 2025, indicating the bike likely sits for long periods or is used only very sparingly. While this limits mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, such low usage often masks risks related to the degradation of rubber components and fluids that an MOT cannot fully detect. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on components that fail with age rather than distance. Check for perished fuel lines, cracked suspension fork boots, and degraded tyre seals, as these become brittle over four decades regardless of low mileage. The braking system should be inspected for seized calipers or corrosion on the discs, as inactivity frequently leads to internal pitting and fluid contamination. Additionally, verify the structural integrity of the frame for hidden rust at mounting points, as the MOT tester only identifies visible surface corrosion.
