Our Verdict
Proceed with caution due to documented s
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the chassis. The April 2026 MOT records specifically mention corrosion on the centre stand cross brace and the rear motorcycle structure near the swinging arm mount; ensure these areas have been treated or repaired. You should also negotiate the price based on the need for a new front shock absorber, as the nearside unit was noted to be misting oil.
Check the drive chain carefully. It has been flagged as worn or loose in both the 2025 and 2026 tests, suggesting it may be nearing the end of its usable life. Request any available documentation regarding rust prevention or recent mechanical repairs to see if the corrosion issues have been addressed beyond the minimum MOT requirement.
As a 125cc petrol motorcycle, this vehicle is expected to be highly economical in terms of fuel and road tax. Insurance costs for this model are typically low, making it an affordable option for new riders or urban commuters.
Maintenance costs are generally modest for this engine size, but the age of this specific vehicle increases the likelihood of parts replacement. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic maintenance, is approximately £400-£700.
Focus your inspection on the areas flagged in the April 2026 MOT. Specifically, examine the centre stand cross brace and the rear structure near the swinging arm mount for significant rust or metal loss. The nearside front shock absorber should be checked for active oil leaks, as 'misting' often precedes total failure.
Additionally, check the tension and condition of the drive chain, as it caused a failure in April 2026 and was an advisory in April 2025. Finally, check the tread depth of the tyres, noting that the front tyre was recorded as being close to the legal limit in March 2024.
This black 2009 Suzuki GZ125 has recorded 36,908 miles. The MOT history reveals a pattern of wear-and-tear issues, culminating in a failure in April 2026 due to corrosion and chain wear. Although it subsequently passed, the record highlights ongoing concerns regarding the vehicle's structural integrity and suspension.
No aggregate reliability data is available for the Suzuki GZ125, but this specific vehicle's history shows typical age-related deterioration.
