2008 Suzuki GSX 650 FK8 0.6L Petrol · CE08 YAJ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent test on 7 October 2025 at 18,449 miles resulted in a pass following a minor failure one mile prior for a non-functional horn. This failure represents a trivial electrical fault and does not indicate broader mechanical or structural decline. The lack of advisories across multiple tests suggests the motorcycle has remained in a high mechanical state. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,025 miles per year. Between the October 2022 test at 17,703 miles and the October 2025 test at 18,449 miles, the vehicle covered only 746 miles. This pattern indicates very light annual use or long periods of storage. While low mileage generally limits wear on the engine and drivetrain, such infrequent use often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid chemistry, which are not captured by a standard MOT inspection. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age and stasis rather than mileage. Since the MOT history shows no structural corrosion or brake issues, the priority shifts to checking for perished tyres, degraded brake lines, and seized calipers that often occur when sitting. Inspect the suspension bushes for cracks and the fork seals for leaks, as these dry out over time regardless of distance. Given the low usage, verifying the age of the battery and brake fluids is essential to ensure internal components have not suffered from oxidation or moisture ingress.
