1993 Suzuki GN250 0.3L Petrol · J29 OFX

The Suzuki GN250 presents a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean pass at the most recent test on 30 July 2024 at 228 miles, showing no defects. Prior to that, the machine passed again on 25 May 2023 at 227 miles with no advisories, following a same-day failure on 25 May 2023 at identical mileage that recorded no defects, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The maintenance record is therefore unbroken by genuine mechanical concerns across the two years of testing. The odometer reads just 228 miles against a 1993 build date, equating to roughly seven miles per year. Between the May 2023 test and the July 2024 test the bike covered a single mile, confirming near-dormant storage. The sparse record shows no rapid accumulation or usage gaps of concern, though such low yearly movement over three decades implies long standing periods rather than active road use. A buyer should physically inspect the motorcycle for deterioration typical of prolonged storage rather than wear from mileage. The tester logged no corrosion, suspension bushes, brake discs, or structural integrity issues, but standing fluid and tyres degrade with age. We advise checking the fork seals, caliper freedom, and frame for hidden rust at close quarters. Given the absent advisories across both passes, no recurring fault pattern emerges. The single same-day failure without recorded defects points to paperwork, not component failure. Treat the GN250 as mechanically sound per record, subject to a hands-on check of perishable items unseen by the MOT.
