2010 Suzuki AN400 0.4L Petrol · AO10 VPM

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in April 2023 at 11,516 miles resulted in a no recorded defects or advisories. This streak of perfect passes suggests that the motorcycle has been kept in good condition and has not been subjected to the mechanical stress or neglect typically seen in high-mileage machinery. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 720 miles per year. Between March 2017 and April 2018, the bike covered only 408 miles, indicating long periods of stationary or minimal use. A notable three-year gap exists between the August 2020 and the April 2023 test, during which only 149 miles were recorded. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber parts and fluid chemistry. A buyer must focus their inspection on components affected by long-term storage rather than mechanical wear. You should check for dry rot in the tyres, perished fork seals, and seized brake calipers which often result from lack of movement. Because the MOT record does not show structural corrosion or leaks, a physical inspection of the frame and fuel tank is still necessary to ensure no hidden rust has developed during the stationary periods. Ensure all fluids are fresh, as they can absorb moisture over time regardless of the low mileage recorded.
