1991 Suzuki DR350S 0.3L Petrol · J128 GMK

The Suzuki DR350S presents a stable and satisfactory roadworthiness status. The most recent test on 8 April 2025 at 6,224 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken clean run across the available history. The maintenance trend shows no worsening faults and no advisories raised at any stage, indicating the machine has been presented in sound condition at each examination. Recorded mileage sits at 6,224 miles against a 1991 build, an average of roughly 178 miles per year. The tests show a long dormancy then a revival: a 2021 pass at just 1,318 miles, followed by a 2022 pass at 6,053 miles, implying about 4,700 miles was added in the intervening year. Subsequent annual use dropped to 74 miles by April 2024 and 97 miles by April 2025. Such low, sporadic running over 35 years suggests prolonged standing rather than regular road use, with no rapid accumulation to flag drivetrain fatigue. A clean MOT sheet with zero advisories means no tester-flagged corrosion, worn suspension bushes, or binding brakes to chase. The buyer should still inspect for age-related perishing of tyres, cracked hoses, and stale fluid given the standing periods. Check the exhaust, frame, and swingarm pivot for hidden rust the annual test may not have probed, and confirm the chain and sprockets are free of seizure from inactivity. Given the sparse but spotless record, previous keepers appear to have stored the bike rather than neglected it outright. A pre-purchase look at the wheel bearings, fork seals, and brake calipers remains sensible on a 35-year-old machine, even where the DVSA entries stay silent.
