2016 Suzuki GSR 0.7L Petrol · AE66 VBX

The 2016 Suzuki GSR presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 13 September 2025 at 17,514 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across every annual examination on file. Annual mileage sits well below typical use for a ten-year-old machine. The record shows 4,999 miles in October 2021, rising to 7,514 by October 2022, 11,058 in October 2023, 14,685 in October 2024, and 17,514 by September 2025. That equates to roughly 1,750 miles per year with no gaps or sudden accumulation. Such low, consistent figures suggest long periods of standing rather than regular riding, though the clean test history gives no evidence of neglect in the recorded intervals. A buyer should still inspect components prone to deterioration through inactivity. Extended storage commonly degrades tyres, brake calipers, and suspension seals even when external checks show no fault. The tester logged no advisories on brake discs, suspension bushes, or structural corrosion, yet these areas warrant hands-on verification given the bike's standing time. Pre-purchase examination should confirm freed calipers, sound fork seals, and absence of hidden frame rust. The official record supports a favourable verdict, but low-mileage machines often conceal moisture-related wear that a road test alone will not expose.
