2002 Suzuki GSX R1000K1 1.0L Petrol · BU02 OPE

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean roadworthiness status as of the most recent test on 26 February 2026 at 40,879 miles. Following a failure in March 2023 regarding rear lighting components, including the stop lamp, position lamp, and registration plate lamp, the motorcycle has passed three consecutive inspections without any recorded defects. This indicates that the previous lighting issues were addressed and the current electrical and illumination systems are functioning correctly. The mileage history shows an exceptionally low usage pattern for a 24-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,700 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of low activity between 2020 and 2023, where the mileage only increased by roughly 1,250 miles over three years. While the current mileage of 40,879 is low, such infrequent use can sometimes lead to component degradation from sitting, such as perished rubber seals or stale fluids, though the MOT records do not currently indicate any such failures. A prospective buyer should focus on the mechanical components that have shown intermittent issues in the past. The 2021 test flagged a worn lower bush on the rear shock absorber mounting, and the 2018 roller brake test noted fluctuations in brake effort. Although these issues were resolved to pass inspection, a physical check of the rear suspension bushings for play and a thorough assessment of the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or binding is advisable. The history also shows minor consumable wear, such as the front tyre being near the legal limit in May 2019 and lighting deterioration in 2016. Given the low annual mileage, the buyer should inspect the tyres for age-related cracking or flat spots, as rubber can degrade even without significant tread wear. The overall record suggests a well-maintained machine that has undergone necessary repairs to rectify specific electrical and suspension faults.
