1979 SUZUKI TS2500.2L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its final recorded test, though the lack of recent data is significant. The most recent MOT in July 2014 at 194 miles passed with no defects, indicating the motorcycle was roadworthy at that time. However, because no tests have occurred for twelve years, the current mechanical integrity of the rubber components, fluids, and structural elements cannot be verified through official records alone. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 47-year-old machine, averaging approximately four miles per year over its entire life. The record shows 10 miles in 2011 increasing to 42 miles by 2013, and reaching 194 miles by 2014. This suggests the vehicle has spent vast periods in storage rather than active use. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to the degradation of seals, perished tyres, and internal corrosion within fuel lines. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the steering assembly, as the August 2013 failure at 42 miles specifically flagged excessive free play in the steering head bearings. Although this was corrected immediately to pass the test, the age of the vehicle means the grease has likely dried out or contaminated. Close attention should also be paid to structural rust on the frame and brake calipers, which are common in vehicles with long-term stationary cycles.
