2000 Suzuki DR125 0.1L Petrol · W368 RNA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a pattern of developing mechanical wear despite low usage. The most recent test in October 2025 at 4,850 miles passed despite advisories for distorted bead rims on both the front and rear wheels and a loose drive chain. This follows a 2024 test where the rear lower suspension pin bush was flagged as worn, indicating that while the bike passes the 시험, components are beginning to show age-related degradation. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 26-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 187 miles per year with a recorded 4,850 miles. There is a significant sixteen-year gap between the 2006 test and the 2022 test, during which the vehicle covered only 5 miles. This suggests the bike has spent long periods in storage, which often leads to the specific types of rubber rot and internal corrosion seen here, such as the excessive rear wheel bearing play noted in March 2023, rather than mileage-related friction. A buyer must physically inspect the wheels closely, as the distorted bead rims have appeared in three consecutive tests since 2024, suggesting potential impact damage or rim fatigue that could lead to tyre failure. The suspension requires attention given the history of wear on the rear shock absorber bush and the lower suspension pins. Furthermore, the failure in 2023 due to a stuck stop lamp and the previous issues with the indicator tell tale and missing ball ends necessitate a thorough check of the wiring loom and control linkages to ensure that long-term storage has not caused electrical components to become brittle or seize over time.
