2015 Moto Guzzi Griso 1.2L Petrol · AJ15 UEX

The Moto Guzzi Griso presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent passed MOT on 5 April 2025 at 18,437 miles recording no defects. The April 2025 test also shows a failed entry on the same date and mileage with no defects logged, a common DVSA administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in March 2024 at 17,315 miles, February 2023 at 16,245 miles, and August 2021 at 12,564 miles all passed cleanly with no advisories raised. The recorded mileage of 18,437 over roughly eleven years equates to about 1,676 miles per year, confirming very light use for a 2015 machine. The gap between the August 2021 test at 12,564 miles and the February 2023 test at 16,245 miles shows the largest annual accumulation at circa 1,840 miles, yet remains low. From 2023 to 2025 the bike added only 2,192 miles, implying prolonged standing periods which on a motorcycle often correlate with degraded tyres, flat-spotted rubber, and seized brake calipers. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension linkage and swingarm bushes for corrosion or play given the low but intermittent use. Check brake discs for pitting and calipers for binding after storage. Examine the exhaust system and frame junctions for structural rust, as moisture ingress during idle spells accelerates decay even where the tester logged no advisories. The absence of recorded defects across five tests suggests previous owners kept basic statutory compliance, though clean MOTs on a low-mileage bike do not confirm component longevity. A pre-purchase inspection of tyre age, coolant condition, and drive belt tension remains prudent before purchase.
