2002 Suzuki GSX1400 1.4L Petrol · RD02 AHE

The vehicle maintains a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 10 June 2025 at 28,748 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This stable trend over the last five years suggests that the mechanical components and structural integrity have remained in good condition without the progressive degradation typically seen in high-age motorcycles. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,200 miles per year. Between April 2021 and June 2025, the bike covered only 248 miles, moving from 28,500 to 28,748 miles. While this low usage indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests suggest periods of standing. Such inactivity often leads to age-related issues that heat and friction usually prevent, regardless of the low odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection focusing on components affected by time rather than just mileage. Check for rubber dry cracking, specifically on fuel hoses, fork seals, and brake lines, as these perish when a vehicle sits stationary for long periods. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting or corrosion, which can occur when calipers are not pressed against them regularly. Additionally, examine the frame for hidden rust and the swingarm pivot for seizing, as low mileage does not protect metal from environmental oxidation over two decades.
