SUZUKI AN4002001 · 0.4L PETROL

The vehicle currently presents an unknown roadworthiness status due to a lack of MOT testing for over thirteen years. The last recorded test took place in October 2012 at 21,213 miles, where it passed with no defects or advisories. Because no tests have been conducted since that date, there is no verifiable evidence regarding the current mechanical integrity, safety, or emissions condition of the motorcycle. The maintenance trend effectively ceased a decade ago, rendering the historical data obsolete. The mileage profile is exceptionally low, averaging fewer than 850 miles per year over its twenty-five-year life. Between 2008 and 2012, the motorcycle covered only 12,605 miles, suggesting a pattern of minimal use or prolonged storage. However, the gap between the 2012 entry and 2026 indicates the vehicle has likely sat stationary for a significant period. Low mileage often masks mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine but frequently leads to degradation of materials that do not rely on movement to fail. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on risks associated with long-term storage and low usage. Rubber components such as fork seals, tyres, and fuel lines often perish when left unused for years, leading to cracking or leaks. The braking system requires close scrutiny for seized calipers or corroded discs, which are common in bikes that sit. Additionally, the frame and swingarm should be checked for deep structural rust, as the age of the vehicle increases the likelihood of oxidation regardless of how few miles are recorded.
