SUZUKI GSX 1300 RX1999 · 1.3L PETROL

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2024-06-26 at 23,096 miles showed a pass with a single minor defect: a missing front mud guard. No critical issues were recorded, and the prior tests from 2017 to 2022 indicate a stable maintenance pattern. The 2022 test noted an exhaust noise (8.1.1(a)), which was resolved by 2024, suggesting no recurring structural or emissions failures. Overall, the roadworthiness trend appears stable, with no worsening issues in the last four years. The mileage of 23,096 miles over 27 years equates to approximately 855 miles annually, reflecting light usage or extended periods of inactivity. MOT records show consistent testing intervals, with no gaps exceeding three years. The 2017 test identified a front tyre near the legal limit (4.1.3(ii)), and the 2019 and 2018 tests had no defects, indicating sporadic but manageable maintenance. The low mileage reduces wear on consumables but does not eliminate risks associated with aging components. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as prolonged inactivity can cause stiffness. The exhaust system, previously flagged for noise, warrants checking for corrosion or leaks. Brake discs and calipers should be examined for uneven wear or binding, given the tyre tread issue in 2017. Structural integrity is not explicitly flagged, but the vehicle’s age necessitates a thorough check for rust in critical areas like the chassis and body seams.
