2004 Suzuki GSX1300R 1.3L Petrol · FJ04 AUX

The vehicle is presently roadworthy, with the 28 March 2024 MOT at 24,400 miles showing a pass and no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. The mileage trajectory shows a modest annual increase of roughly 1,100 miles since the 2007 test, with the largest jump occurring between the 2007 and 2008 tests (12,806 miles to 19,160 miles). Since 2012 the increments have remained modest, averaging under 200 miles per year, indicating the bike has been used lightly or stored for extended periods. A buyer should therefore focus on mechanical components that typically exhibit wear despite low kilometres: suspension bushes and coil springs for cracking or loss of preload, brake discs and calipers for corrosion or binding, tyre tread depth and condition, and the structural integrity of the frame and sub‑frames for rust or fatigue. The 2009 failure concerning the registration plate format does not affect mechanical soundness but confirms that the owner has addressed non‑mechanical items promptly. A thorough in‑person inspection of the braking system, suspension geometry, chassis welds, and exhaust condition is essential to verify that low mileage has not concealed underlying deterioration.
