SUZUKI GN1251998 · 0.1L PETROL

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent pass record over the last five years. The most recent test on 24 August 2023 at 7,639 miles passed with only a minor advisory regarding a deteriorated rear registration plate. This defect did not impact the mechanical or structural integrity of the motorcycle, and the lack of failures in previous years suggests that the primary components have remained within acceptable operating parameters during the inspection intervals. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 28-year-old machine, averaging approximately 273 miles per year. Between July 2019 at 4,899 miles and August 2023 at 7,639 miles, the bike covered only 2,740 miles. While this low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine internals, and brake pads, long periods of standing between tests can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid chemistry that an MOT test may not fully capture. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas associated with long-term storage rather than mechanical wear. Since the record shows no history of structural rust or suspension failure, the attention should be paid to corrosion on the frame and perished. Inspect the fuel hoses, tyres lines for cracking, and the state of the fork seals, as low mileage often masks age-related decay in elastomers. The deteriorated rear plate noted in 2023 should be checked for replacement to ensure continued legal compliance.
