2008 Suzuki AN650 0.6L Petrol · NY08 AEG

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a slight mechanical decline in the most recent inspection. The MOT conducted in November 2025 at 15,600 miles identified a minor defect regarding the front brake binding. While this did not result in a failure, it represents a departure from the clean records seen in the previous four tests between 2021 and 2024. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 867 miles per year. Between September 2021 at 10,793 miles and November 2025 at 15,600 miles, the vehicle covered only 4,807 miles over four years. This low usage suggests the bike has spent long periods in storage, which explains the lack of significant mechanical wear on the drivetrain and suspension components. However, such low-use patterns often lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid-related issues rather than traditional mileage-related fatigue. A buyer must specifically inspect the front braking assembly to determine if the binding issue is caused by a seized caliper piston or a corroded rotor. Given the low mileage, the tester should also check for flat spots on tyres and perished brake hoses, which occur with age despite minimal travel. The structural integrity of the frame and fuel tank for corrosion is also vital, as stationary vehicles are prone to surface rust that the MOT record alone does not fully quantify.
