1987 SUZUKI GSX5500.6L PETROL

The vehicle currently lacks a valid MOT certificate, indicating a complete cessation of testing for the past seventeen years. The last recorded test occurred on 23 June 2009 at 25,248 miles, where it passed with no recorded defects. Because no tests have been performed since this date, the current roadworthiness and structural integrity of the motorcycle cannot be verified through official records. The maintenance trend is effectively unknown due to the total absence of data spanning the last nearly two decades. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally low usage for a vehicle of 39 years, averaging approximately 647 miles per year over its lifetime. Between July 2006 and June 2009, the motorcycle covered only 437 miles, suggesting it was used very infrequently while in active ownership. The stagnation in mileage at 25,248 miles indicates the bike has likely sat in long-term storage for extended periods. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, prolonged inactivity often leads to the degradation of rubber seals, seized calipers, and internal corrosion on unexposed metal surfaces. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the chassis, specifically the frame and swingarm mounting points, for deep-seated corrosion that often occurs when vehicles sit stationary. The braking system requires a detailed check for seized pistons and perished hydraulic hoses, which are common failure points after years of no or recorded use. Given the seventeen-year gap, the fuel system should be inspected for varnish and blockage, and the suspension seals must be tested for dry rot or age-related failure. The headlamp masks noted in 2006 and 2007 suggest minor attention to lighting, but the overall age of the tyres must be checked for cracking and dry rot regardless of remaining tread depth.
