2008 Suzuki AN400 0.4L Petrol · CA08 XAF

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in May 2025 at 41,777 miles was a pass, it followed a failure just one month prior due to a leaking rear brake caliper. The trend shows that mechanical faults in the braking system are only addressed once they reach a point of critical failure rather than being replaced during scheduled service intervals. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 41,777 miles is exceptionally low, averaging only approximately 2,300 miles per year. This low usage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid seals despite the low mechanical wear. The gap between October 2021 and June 2023 shows the bike covered only about 6,200 miles in two years, suggesting it may have sat for extended periods, which frequently correlates with the internal corrosion on brake components and perished seals seen in the later records. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of the rear braking system given the recurring issues noted. The 2023 failure highlighted significantly worn discs and pads below the 1mm limit, while the 2025 failure identified a leaking caliper. You should check for fluid weeping around the caliper piston and ensure the brake discs are not scored or suffering from pitting. Additionally, the low-mileage history necessitates a close look at tyre sidewalls for cracking and brake hoses for perishability, as these parts age regardless of tread depth.
