2011 Suzuki GSF 1250 SA L0 1.3L Petrol · AK61 PLU

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 5 June 2026 at 28,308 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the most recent failure involved a minor electrical issue regarding a non-functional horn, which was rectified to achieve the pass. While the bike has faced intermittent issues with consumables, it has not shown signs of escalating mechanical degradation or structural failure in recent years. The recorded mileage of 28,308 over a 15-year lifespan averages approximately 1,887 miles per year. This low annual usage suggests the motorcycle has seen light, seasonal use rather than heavy commuting. The data shows a consistent upward progression in mileage, with no significant gaps or periods of prolonged inactivity that would suggest the vehicle has been sitting unused for years. The most recent interval between the 2025 test at 24,326 miles and the 2026 test at 28,308 miles shows a healthy increase of nearly 4,000 miles, indicating active riding. A prospective buyer should pay close attention to the braking system and suspension. The MOT history shows a recurring pattern of brake effort fluctuation, first noted in the 2014 test and appearing again in 2016, 2017, and 2025. This suggests a potential for binding calipers or inconsistent hydraulic pressure that warrants a physical inspection. The 2023 advisory regarding oil misting from the offside front shock absorber indicates a minor seal leak; while not a failure, the condition of the fork seals and the smoothness of the suspension travel should be verified. Tyre maintenance also appears to be a recurring oversight by previous owners. The tester flagged tyres worn close to the legal limit in 2017, 2024, and 2025. Although these are consumable items, the frequency of these advisories suggests that maintenance is often reactive rather than proactive. A thorough check of the current tyre tread depth, sidewall integrity, and the overall condition of the drivetrain components is advised to ensure the low mileage has not resulted in age-related rubber perishing.
