2008 Suzuki DRZ 400 SM K7 0.4L Petrol · CE08 YZY

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted on 27 February 2026 at 15,701 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This reflects a clean record across the last five annual tests, indicating that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable operating parameters without signs of recurring failure or escalating wear issues. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 872 miles per year. Between June 2021 and November 2024, the vehicle covered only 463 miles, showing a significant deceleration in use. The data reveals a gap of just 31 miles between July 2022 and November 2024. Such low usage suggests the bike has spent long periods in a stationary state, which while this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, often introduces specific risks related to age-related degradation rather than mechanical friction. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must account for issues associated with low-mileage storage. A physical inspection should focus on cracking in the tyres, perished rubber hoses, and seals, which degrade regardless of tread depth. Because the bike has been used sparingly, the buyer should check for brake corrosion on the discs and ensure the fork seals are not leaking. The structural integrity of the frame should be verified for surface rust, as the low mileage does not prevent the environmental effects of oxidation over two decades.
