1971 SUZUKI T250 HUSTLER0.3L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available data, though the record is now critically outdated. The most recent MOT conducted in August 2016 at 25,263 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating the motorcycle met all minimum safety and emissions standards at that time. However, because there has been no recorded testing for the last ten years, the current roadworthiness of the vehicle cannot be verified through official channels and the certificate is long expired. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a machine from 1971, averaging approximately 459 miles per year. Between May 2015 and August 2016, the vehicle covered only 84 miles, moving from 25,179 to 25,263 miles. This disparity suggests the motorcycle has spent significant periods in storage rather than active use. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components, fluid breakdown, and internal corrosion due to lack of movement. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity and fuel system, as long-term standing often results in hidden rust in the frame and perished fuel lines. The lack of recent testing means the condition of the brake lines, suspension seals, and fork oil is entirely unknown. Particular attention should be paid to dry rot in the tyres and potential seizing of calipers, which are common in vehicles of this age regardless of the low recorded mileage.
