1986 Suzuki Gsxr 1.1L Petrol · C766 NTO

The July 2023 test at 18,738 miles returned a clean pass with no advisories or defects recorded. That single result shows a stable maintenance picture at that mileage, but the MOT expired over three years ago, leaving a significant gap in verified roadworthiness. The recorded mileage averages roughly 470 miles per year since first registration, a figure that points to very light use or extended periods off the road. Only one DVSA entry exists in the supplied history, so the mileage trajectory cannot be verified beyond that snapshot; the low accumulation raises the possibility of storage-related deterioration rather than wear from regular running. A buyer should focus the physical inspection on age-related degradation typical of a four-decade-old machine that has covered minimal distance. Check the brake calipers for seized pistons and corroded discs, examine the fork seals and rear shock for oil weep, and inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking regardless of tread depth. Verify the frame and swingarm for hidden corrosion, especially around the steering head and battery tray, and confirm the fuel tank interior is free from rust contamination. Electrical connectors and the charging system warrant close scrutiny, as does the authenticity of the displayed mileage given the lengthy interval since the last test.
