2008 Suzuki AN400 0.4L Petrol · AV08 XYM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status despite a history of intermittent failures. The most recent test on 11 September 2024 at 24,682 miles resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure on the exact same day. This suggests a specific mechanical issue was identified and immediately rectified to meet testing standards. The vehicle has since maintained a clean record with no advisories across the last three testing cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,371 miles per year. Between August 2022 at 18,812 miles and September 2024 at 24,682 miles, the vehicle covered 5,870 miles over two years. This low usage indicates light operation or significant periods of storage. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to age-related degradation of components such as seals, hoses, and tyres, which do not wear out through mileage alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the risks associated with low-mileage storage. Since the record shows no structural advisories for corrosion, the focus should shift on seized brake calipers or perished rubber components caused by lack of use. Inspect the tyres for cracking in the sidewalls and the fork seals for leaking despite sufficient depth. The recurring failures in 2023 and 2024 suggest the bike may occasionally develop minor mechanical faults that require immediate attention before an MOT test.
