2007 Suzuki GSX 1300 RK6 1.3L Petrol · AE07 AHZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on May 22 2026 at 26,591 miles resulted in a clean pass, following a failure just three days prior due to a rear tyre with a tread depth of 1.0mm. This indicates that the owner addresses critical safety defects only when they are flagged by the MOT tester, rather than replacing consumables before they reach failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nineteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging only about 1,400 miles per year. There is a significant anomaly in usage patterns between April 2024 and April 2025, where the bike covered over 10,000 miles in a single year, contrasting sharply with previous annual increments of 1,000 to 1,200 miles. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluid chemistry which the MOT cannot fully detect. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the tyres and braking system, as the record shows recurring issues with tread depth and pad thickness. The tester flagged worn front tyres in 2021 and 2017, along with thin rear brake pads in 2017. The loose drive chain noted in 2025 suggests the drivetrain may be reaching the end of its service life or requires proper adjustment and lubrication. Given the age and low usage, check specifically for corrosion corrosion on the fork seals and perished rubber cracks in the brake lines, as these are common in vehicles that remain stationary for extended periods.
