2013 Suzuki VZ 1500 L0 1.5L Petrol · AF13 XJJ

The MOT record indicates a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 7 June 2024 at 8,989 miles. The tester flagged zero defects in the most recent test, demonstrating sound mechanical condition. A single advisory in 2018 for a front tyre worn close to the legal limit was evidently addressed, as subsequent tests show no recurring tyre defects. The motorcycle covers roughly 691 miles per year, reflecting exceptionally light use. Between 30 April 2018 and 22 April 2021, the vehicle covered just 1,360 miles over nearly three years, suggesting prolonged periods of standing. Mileage accumulation then increased slightly, with 151 miles covered between June 2023 and June 2024. Long-term standing poses its own risks, such as degraded rubber suspension bushes, stale fuel, and surface corrosion on brake discs and exhaust components, despite the low odometer reading. A buyer should inspect the structural integrity of the frame and swingarm for corrosion, particularly if the bike has sat unused for extended periods. Check the front and rear brake discs for pitting and binding calipers, as low mileage often leads to uneven wear and seized pistons. Examine the condition of the suspension coil springs and dampers for weeping seals. Verify the health of the battery and charging system, as infrequent use can drain and damage electrical components. Finally, assess all rubber seals and hoses for perishing, which occurs naturally with age regardless of mileage.
