1987 Suzuki RG250 0.3L Petrol · D63 XWC

The Suzuki RG250 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 17 March 2025 at 45,915 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior examination on 28 July 2023 at 45,765 miles also passed clean. Across the two available records the vehicle shows no advisories, no failures, and no developing mechanical faults, indicating consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards over the observed period. The recorded mileage reflects extremely light use for a 39-year-old machine. Between July 2023 and March 2025 the odometer advanced only 150 miles, averaging roughly 75 miles per year across that span and about 1,177 miles per year across the vehicle's life. The sparse MOT history offers just two clean entries with a nineteen-month gap between them, so the data gives no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected intervals, though it also leaves long periods unverified by statutory test. A buyer should still inspect the RG250 in person for age-related deterioration not captured by a pass result. Low mileage combined with long standing periods typically allows corrosion to form on the frame, exhaust, and suspension mounting points even when brake discs and tyres appear serviceable. The tester recorded no structural advisories, but standing storage accelerates rust on a 1987 chassis more than regular use would. Check the fork seals, swingarm bearings, and brake calipers for binding or seizure from inactivity, and confirm the tyres are not perished despite adequate tread. The clean record implies the previous keeper maintained basic statutory compliance, yet the sparse history means a physical inspection remains essential before purchase.
