2004 Suzuki GSF1200 1.2L Petrol · AY04 ACU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, showing a consistent pass record over the last decade. The most recent MOT conducted in September 2023 at 48,340 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a clean result in 2022 and 2020, indicating that the motorcycle has remained in a mechanically sound condition without recurring structural failures in recent testing cycles. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old machine, averaging approximately 2,200 miles per year. The data shows steady, infrequent use, moving from 19,784 miles in 2010 to the current 48,340 miles in 2023. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain components, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, such as seals, hoses, and tyres, which are not fully captured by the odometer alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the specific areas that triggered issues in the past. The 2021 test initially failed due to rear brake pads reaching the minimum limit and a non-functional rear registration plate lamp; although these were rectified, the current thickness of the brake pads should be verified to ensure consistent maintenance continues. Additionally, the 2019 record noted a light misting on the offside front shock absorber. While this did not cause a failure, the fork seals should be inspected for active leaks to ensure the suspension integrity has not deteriorated during periods of low-use storage.
