1991 Suzuki DR350S 0.3L Petrol · J782 UJN

The Suzuki DR350S presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 11 October 2024 at 17,836 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the two prior tests on 28 March 2023 at 17,787 miles and 8 December 2021 at 16,954 miles also passed clean. The absence of any advisories across three successive examinations indicates no worsening mechanical condition and no recurring fault pattern. At roughly 35 years old the machine shows 17,836 recorded miles, an average of about 510 miles per year. The records reveal minimal annual use: only 49 miles accrued between December 2021 and March 2023, and just 833 miles across the full 2021 to 2024 span. Such low accumulation points to extended periods of standing rather than active daily riding. The clean test history offers no evidence of skipped upkeep, though sparse testing leaves intervals where condition is unverified. A buyer should still inspect for age-related degradation not captured by the MOT. Long stationary periods commonly cause fork seal weeping, perished rubber hoses, and caliper seizure on the single disc brake. The steel frame and exhaust demand close checks for structural corrosion, particularly around the swinging arm and steering head. Suspension bushes, wheel bearings, and the drive chain should be physically assessed for stiction or wear from inactivity. Despite the clean record, a pre-purchase examination by a marque specialist remains prudent given the vehicle's age and low recorded mileage.
