2008 Suzuki GSX1400 1.4L Petrol · CA08 XAC

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 29 April 2022 at 5,341 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend suggests that the motorcycle has remained in a good condition throughout its recorded life, without the mechanical failures or structural degradation typically seen in high-age vehicles of this era. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old machine, averaging approximately 300 miles per year. The data shows significant gaps in usage, such as the three-year period between April 2015 and May 2018 where the bike covered only 160 miles. Another long interval between June 2019 and August 2020 saw only 205 miles recorded. While this low mileage indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and braking surfaces, the long stationary periods suggest risks associated with long-term storage, specifically the degradation of rubber-based components. A buyer must focus the physical inspection on items affected by age rather than mileage. The tester should check for perished fuel lines, fork seals, and tyre sidewalls which tend to crack regardless of tread depth. Because the bike has sat for long durations, it is vital to inspect the brake calipers for seized pistons and ensure the fluid has not absorbed moisture. Examine the frame for signs of surface corrosion, though the lack of historical advisories suggests the structural integrity of the Suzuki frame remains intact despite the lack of use.
