2007 Suzuki DRZ 0.4L Petrol · AT57 APV

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend with a clean MOT history. The most recent test on 2024-07-08 at 13,803 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2017, suggesting a vehicle that has been maintained to a standard that consistently meets minimum legal requirements without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old motorcycle, averaging roughly 726 miles per year. Between the May 2017 test at 11,643 miles and the July 2024 test at 13,803 miles, the odometer increased by only 2,160 miles over seven years. This indicates the bike has spent significant periods stationary, which often presents different risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer should focus on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Long periods of inactivity can lead to perished rubber seals, cracked tyres, and fuel system varnish. Inspect the brake calipers for seizing and check the fork seals for leaks, as seals often dry out and fail when a bike is not ridden regularly. Check the frame and swingarm for surface corrosion or deeper structural rust, particularly if the bike was stored in a damp environment. While the MOT record shows no structural failures, the lack of any recorded advisories over several years is unusual and warrants a physical check of the chain tension and sprocket wear to ensure the bike has been serviced beyond the basic annual test.
