2018 Suzuki Gsxs 1000 AL8 ABS 1.0L Petrol · KY18 AOH

The Suzuki GSXS 1000 AL8 ABS shows a roadworthy status from the most recent DVSA examination on 14 February 2025 at 13,896 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the documented lifespan. Earlier tests on 23 January 2024 at 11,837 miles and 4 November 2021 at 5,268 miles also passed cleanly. A anomalous failure appears on 7 September 2022 at 7,673 miles with no defects listed, immediately superseded by a pass the same day; this points to a procedural or documentation error rather than mechanical deficiency. Mileage accumulation remains low for an eight year old machine, totalling 13,896 miles or roughly 1,737 per annum. The owner added 2,405 miles between November 2021 and September 2022, then 4,164 miles by January 2024, and a further 2,059 by February 2025. The absence of any logged test for the 2023 calendar year leaves a gap in the verification chain. Such low yearly use suggests extended periods of standing, a pattern that often masks deterioration invisible to a pass certificate. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of components the MOT records never flagged. Check suspension linkages and bushes for stiffness from inactivity, and examine brake discs and calipers for binding or corrosion after storage. Verify exhaust emissions and structural integrity of the frame and subframe for surface rust. Tyres demand scrutiny for sidewall cracking and tread depth given the standing periods. The clean history implies conscientious statutory compliance, yet sparse data and low mileage warrant hands-on assessment before purchase.
