2009 Suzuki GSX1300R 1.3L Petrol · BU54 AJS

The 2009 Suzuki GSX1300R presents a stable and clean roadworthiness profile, with the most recent test on 13 June 2025 at 10,961 miles returning a pass and no defects recorded. Across the five available MOT entries from 2020 to 2025, the machine passed every time with zero advisories, indicating no worsening trend and no unresolved mechanical or structural concerns in the official record. The mileage pattern shows exceptionally light use for a seventeen-year-old motorcycle. The odometer moved from 9,506 miles at the September 2020 test to 10,961 miles by June 2025, a total of just 1,455 miles over nearly five years, averaging around 290 miles annually. A notable gap exists between the September 2021 pass at 10,018 miles and the May 2023 pass at 10,315 miles, where no 2022 test appears, but the low accrual suggests long standing periods rather than hard riding or neglected consumable replacement. Given the spotless MOT history, the previous keeper clearly maintained basic statutory compliance, though a clean sheet does not confirm component condition beneath test thresholds. A buyer should still inspect the Suzuki in person for suspension linkage wear, fork seal weeping, and brake caliper binding after its prolonged idle spells. Tyre sidewall cracking from age and standing, plus exhaust corrosion around the silencer and header joints, warrant close visual checks despite no tester flags. The absence of recorded advisories on items such as steering head bearings, chain and sprocket wear, or structural frame rust means the DVSA tester found nothing reportable. Prospective owners should nonetheless verify the bike starts cleanly, the clutch and gearbox operate without slip, and the brake discs show no lip or warping from minimal use.
