2009 Moto Guzzi Griso 8V 1.2L Petrol · AE09 JRZ

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT pass results. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 19,156 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend. This streak suggests that the mechanical and structural components have remained within operational parameters without triggering any failures over the last five years of testing. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,127 miles per year. Between March 2021 and September 2025, the vehicle covered only 3,096 miles, showing significant periods of inactivity. For instance, the 130-mile gap recorded between the July 2023 and September 2024 tests indicates the bike spent much of that time in stationary storage. While this limits the wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it introduces risks related to age-related degradation of parts that do not move frequently. Given the lack of recorded mechanical faults, a buyer must focus on the risks associated with low-mileage storage. An inspection should check for dry rot in the tyres, perished rubber seals, and degraded fork seals which often leak after long disuse periods. The brake discs should be inspected for surface corrosion or pitting, as low use prevents the pads from clearing away oxidation. Additionally, the fuel and brake fluids should be checked for moisture contamination or breakdown, as these degrade over time regardless of the mileage recorded.
