1982 Suzuki GT250 0.2L Petrol · ARF 765Y

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 22 October 2022 at 34,696 miles recorded no defects or advisories. This streak suggests that the mechanical and structural components remained within acceptable functional limits during the inspection period, indicating a pattern of preventative maintenance rather than reactive repair. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 44-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 789 miles per year. Between October 2018 and October 2022, the vehicle covered only 4,439 miles, representing an increase of just over 1,100 miles annually. This minimal use implies the bike is likely stored for long periods or used only in fair weather. While this limits wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, it increases specific risks related to rubber-based components degradation and corrosion from lack of airflow. Given that the last MOT was performed over three years ago, a prospective buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of components affected by stationary time. Focus should remain on the structural integrity of the frame for hidden corrosion, as low-mile vehicles often suffer from moisture retention. The buyer should check for perished brake hoses, cracked fork seals, and seized caliper pistons that do not necessarily manifest at low mileage. Suspension seals and tyres should also be examined for flat spotting or dry rot, as the recorded mileage does not reflect the age-related decay of these materials.
