1989 Suzuki TS50 0.0L Petrol · G828 SBW

The vehicle's overall roadworthiness is currently poor based on the 2026-06-17 date, as the most recent MOT (2023-03-04) was PASSED at 56,580 miles, indicating a significant gap of approximately 13 years between the last inspection and the current date. This lapse suggests that the vehicle has not undergone adequate maintenance in the last decade, and the current inspection reveals a lack of structural integrity across critical systems. The maintenance trend is worsening relative to the current test, as the 2022-03-05 MOT failed due to severe issues including excessive brake lever travel, excessive suspension play, and a missing rear footrest. This indicates that the vehicle has not been serviced to maintain its mechanical integrity, and the recurring faults in the 2022-03-01 MOT (such as the same brake issues and worn chain sprockets) confirm that the vehicle is in a state of disrepair. The 2021-01-12 failure, which also flagged a missing rear footrest and insecure exhaust system, further highlights that the vehicle has not been adequately cared for, with the most recent test showing only minor wear on the tyres and side bushes. Given the 13-year gap and the persistent structural weaknesses such as the unserviceable rear suspension pin and bushes, a buyer should inspect the vehicle in person immediately to check for rust on the chassis and exhaust system, verify the condition of the brake components, and confirm the integrity of the rear suspension bushings. While the vehicle may appear functional on paper, the lack of a recent MOT and the presence of multiple structural failures make it unsafe to drive without immediate professional assessment.
