2011 MOTO GUZZI GRISO 8V1.2L Petrol

The 2011 Moto Guzzi Griso 8V presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 15 September 2025 at 17,633 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken five-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes from 2021 through 2025. The recorded mileage shows very light use for a fifteen-year-old machine. Between the 2 September 2021 test at 14,419 miles and the 15 September 2025 test at 17,633 miles the bike covered only 3,214 miles, averaging roughly 800 miles per year. Annual increments stayed tight: 15,528 in 2022, 15,748 in 2023, 16,719 in 2024, then 17,633 in 2025. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the record, and the clean pass history gives no indication of deferred consumable replacement or neglected mechanical faults. A buyer should still inspect the machine in person given its low mileage and likely periods of standing. Long storage can harden suspension bushes, flat-spot tyres, and promote corrosion on brake discs and structural components even when a test shows no advisory. The absence of recorded defects means no recurring brake, exhaust, or chassis issues to trace, but the tester cannot confirm hidden internal wear on the drivetrain or fork seals from the MOT alone. Check the tyre sidewalls for cracking from age rather than mileage, and confirm the brake calipers are not seizing after limited use. Verify the chain and sprockets for rust or tight links, and inspect the frame and exhaust for surface corrosion. The documented history supports a well-kept example, yet physical examination remains essential on a low-use veteran.
