1995 Suzuki Bandit 0.6L Petrol · R674 JNS

The roadworthiness of this Suzuki Bandit is currently questionable following the most recent test result. While the vehicle passed its inspection in June 2022 with 29,613 miles and no defects, it failed the subsequent test in June 2023 at 30,055 miles. Because the record shows no specific defects for that failure, it suggests an administrative issue or a specific component-related failure that was not detailed, rather than a gradual decline in mechanical condition. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a vehicle 31 years old, averaging approximately 1,000 miles per year. The 442-mile interval between the June 2022 and June 2023 tests indicates the bike is used very sparingly or has spent significant stationary for long periods. While low mileage typically suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often invites issues related to perished rubber seals, fluid degradation, and brake corrosion which occur when a vehicle is not regularly exercised. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the structural integrity of the frame and swingarm, as older Suzuki Bandits are prone to hidden rust corrosion. Given the age and low usage, the inspector should check for perished suspension bushes, seized brake calipers, and leaking hoses that may have degraded from age. The tyres should also be examined for sidewewall cracking, as tread depth often remains sufficient while the rubber compound has long passed its shelf life.
