1987 Suzuki RG250 0.2L Petrol · D854 JHY

The Suzuki RG250 demonstrates sound roadworthiness based on the clean pass recorded on 23 January 2026 at 8,020 miles. This latest test contains zero advisories or defects, pointing to a stable maintenance standard where the machine meets statutory road safety requirements without any immediate mechanical intervention needed. The mileage profile is exceptionally sparse, averaging just over 200 miles per year across its thirty-nine-year lifespan. This minimal accumulation indicates long periods of storage or very restricted seasonal use, meaning the vehicle has avoided the heavy wear associated with high-mileage commuting. Such extended dormancy, however, frequently masks subtle degradation in perishable materials. A physical inspection must prioritise components vulnerable to age and inactivity rather than standard wear. Check the rubber fork seals, coolant hoses, and tyres for hardening or fine perishing, and verify that the fuel system and carburettors are free from varnish or gum deposits caused by sitting with stale fuel. Examine the frame and exhaust chambers closely for corrosion, particularly in hidden areas beneath the bodywork where moisture can accumulate during storage.
