2012 Suzuki GSR 0.7L Petrol · CV62 WHJ

The Suzuki GSR presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 September 2025 at 23,460 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, though the DVSA log also shows a failed entry on the same date and mileage with no defects listed, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior tests in 2023, 2022, and early 2022 all passed cleanly with no advisories, confirming the vehicle has avoided recurring workshop issues across its recorded history. Recorded mileage stands at 23,460 against a 2012 build, averaging roughly 1,676 miles per year. The bike covered only 2,229 miles between the 8 November 2023 test at 17,231 miles and the 2025 retest, and just 916 miles across the three 2022 entries from 15,225 to 15,544 miles. Such low annual use over fourteen years suggests extended standing periods, which can allow brake calipers to seize, tyres to craze, and suspension bushes to harden even where the MOT shows no faults. A buyer should still inspect the machine in person for corrosion on the frame and exhaust, given the age and likely outdoor storage. Check the brake discs for pitting from inactivity and confirm the calipers free off cleanly. The clean record gives no evidence of structural or mechanical risk, but low-mileage Suzukis of this era often hide degraded consumables the annual test will not flag until failure.
