Our Verdict
A strong candidate for buyers seeking a low-mileage example of this model. The MOT history is largely clean, though the single failure in 2023 warrants a quick check of what was rectified.
When inspecting this GSXR, focus on the 2023 MOT failure; although no specific defect was listed in the summary, it is vital to ask the seller what caused the failure and how it was resolved. Since this is a high-performance 999cc machine, ensure that any maintenance performed has been documented, even if not explicitly shown in the MOT history.
Negotiate based on the service intervals. While the mileage is low, motorcycles of this type often require maintenance based on time rather than just distance. Check for any signs of tyre degradation or fluid ageing, as the vehicle has been used sparingly since its first registration in September 2016.
Running costs for this 999cc petrol model will be influenced by its high-performance nature. Expect higher fuel consumption compared to standard commuter bikes, and insurance groups for GSXR models tend to be higher due to their power output.
Maintenance costs should be manageable given the low mileage, but budget for specialist parts and tyres. An estimated annual running cost, covering fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, is approximately £1,200-£1,500 depending on riding style and insurance profile.
Directly address the 2023 MOT failure by requesting the specific details of the defect. While the recent tests in 2024 and 2025 recorded no defects, you should still inspect the shock absorbers and exhaust system, as these are identified as common failure points for this model across the wider dataset.
Additionally, check the headlamp functionality and the overall condition of the blue bodywork. Given the low mileage, inspect the tyres for age-related cracking or flat spots, which can occur when a vehicle is used infrequently.
This 2016 Suzuki GSXR presents with exceptionally low mileage, having covered just 12,994 miles in nearly ten years. The MOT history shows a consistent pattern of passes, with only one recorded failure in September 2023. Given the model's average annual mileage is approximately 1,637, this specific blue 999cc petrol unit sits slightly above that average but remains very low for its age.
The Suzuki GSXR shows a high average MOT pass rate of 90.7% across 2,895 analysed vehicles.
