SUZUKI GSF12001996 · 1.2L PETROL

The Suzuki GSF1200 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 29 May 2026 returned a pass with no defects recorded, following a clean pass on 30 May 2025 at 30,000 miles. Prior tests in August 2024 and July 2023 also passed without fault. The only blemish in the record is a single failure on 26 July 2023 for headlamp aim too low, which the same-day retest corrected. This isolated lighting defect shows no sign of becoming a recurring fault. Mileage data across the history is sparse. Only the May 2025 test logs a figure, showing 30,000 miles on a 1996 machine. The absence of recorded mileages for 2023, 2024, and 2026 prevents any assessment of annual accumulation or usage intensity. A 30-year-old motorcycle sitting near 30,000 miles suggests light use, though the gaps leave the true wear profile unverified. The clean pass sheet gives no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, calipers, or structural corrosion. The July 2023 headlamp aim failure points to either a loose mounting or owner neglect of basic alignment. A buyer should still verify the headlamp aim in person and inspect for age-related corrosion on the frame and exhaust, given the vehicle's 1996 build date. In person, check the fork seals for weepage and confirm the chain and sprockets show no excessive stretch. The MOT record implies careful storage rather than hard use, but thirty years of age demands a hands-on look at rubber components and electrical connectors that a test bay will not flag.
