2010 Suzuki GSF1250 GT 1.3L Petrol · AE10 ADO

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT history showing a clean pass in October 2024 at 37,964 miles. After a period of mechanical issues between 2014 and 2021, the record indicates a trend of improving roadworthiness. The absence of any advisories or defects in the two most recent tests suggests that previous mechanical concerns have been addressed and the motorcycle is currently maintaining a consistent standard of upkeep. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 2010 model, averaging approximately 2,373 miles per year. The data shows significant periods of inactivity, such as the gap between the November 2023 test at 37,265 miles and the October 2024 test at 37,964 miles, where only 699 miles were covered. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain, these long intervals of standing can lead to secondary issues like perished rubber components or seized parts, though the recent clean MOT results suggest this has not been a significant problem for this specific machine. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front suspension and braking system. The record shows a history of shock absorber issues, specifically a serious fluid leak in July 2018 and subsequent light oil misting on the offside front shock in January 2021. Although the 2024 test was clear, the integrity of the fork seals should be verified to ensure no new weeping has commenced. Similarly, the tester identified binding front and rear brakes in June 2019, so the buyer should check for smooth caliper operation and ensure the discs do not show signs of uneven wear or heavy corrosion from periods of inactivity. Finally, the history of recurring wheel bearing play between 2014 and 2017 warrants a thorough check of the hub assemblies. While these faults appear to have been resolved, verifying the absence of any lateral movement in the wheels is a necessary step. The overall mechanical history is manageable, provided the recent trend of clean passes is reflected in the current physical condition of the consumables and seals.
