2004 Suzuki GSXR750 0.7L Petrol · AY04 AAU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile following a period of intermittent mechanical issues. The most recent MOT test on 22 April 2026 at 20,967 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a successful test in June 2024 at 19,864 miles, suggesting that the mechanical inconsistencies noted in previous years have been addressed and the motorcycle is currently maintaining a consistent standard of upkeep. The mileage pattern indicates very light usage for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 953 miles per year. The record shows significant periods of inactivity, such as the gap between the February 2021 test and the March 2022 test. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests and low annual distance suggest the motorcycle may spend extended periods stationary. This pattern can lead to secondary issues like tyre flat-spotting or fluid degradation, though the recent clean passes suggest these have not become systemic problems. The historical data highlights specific areas requiring physical inspection. The April 2023 failure at 18,797 miles revealed serious issues, including crumbling rear brake pads and excessive fluctuation in front brake effort. Although the vehicle has passed since then, a buyer should manually inspect the condition of the brake pads, discs, and calipers to ensure the previous deterioration was fully rectified. The 2021 and 2022 records also flagged a noisy exhaust and a loose drive chain, so checking the exhaust mounting points and the tension and condition of the chain and sprockets is advisable. General attention should also be paid to consumables and electrical components. Previous failures regarding incorrect indicator colours and non-conforming registration plates suggest minor lapses in basic maintenance. Given the low mileage and age, checking the integrity of rubber components, such as fork seals and fuel lines, is a prudent step to ensure that long periods of standing have not caused perishing or leaks.
