2008 Suzuki GSF1250 1.3L Petrol · AO08 ABU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following its most recent MOT pass on 20 September 2025 at 4,668 miles. The record shows no current defects, indicating the motorcycle is currently compliant with all legal requirements. While the history includes a failure in September 2024 due to a rear tyre falling below the 1.0mm legal limit, the subsequent pass suggests the necessary consumable replacement was carried out. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging roughly 259 miles per year. The data shows very gradual accumulation, moving from 3,227 miles in March 2021 to 4,668 miles in September 2025. This extremely low usage suggests the motorcycle has spent significant periods stationary. Such usage patterns often result in minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but can lead to secondary issues related to lack of movement. A prospective buyer should focus inspections on components affected by long-term storage. The MOT history shows a persistent trend of rear tyre tread depth being near or below the legal limit dating back to 2017. While tyres have been replaced, the low mileage and long intervals between tests mean the rubber may have hardened or developed flat spots. Check the manufacture date on the sidewalls to ensure the rubber remains supple and hasn't perished from age. Given the low annual mileage, the inspector should also examine the battery health, fuel system integrity, and brake fluid condition. Long periods of inactivity can lead to fuel degradation in the tank and moisture buildup within the braking system. Check for any signs of corrosion on the chain, sprockets, and exposed metal surfaces, as the lack of regular road use can sometimes allow surface oxidation to develop more quickly than on a frequently ridden machine.
