2009 Suzuki VLR 1800 TK9 1.8L Petrol · DA09 ZPJ

The 2009 Suzuki VLR 1800 TK9 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent DVSA test on 21 May 2025 at 12,233 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean results across the available history. The mileage pattern shows exceptionally light use for a seventeen-year-old machine. The record moved from 8,196 miles at the July 2021 test to 8,200 miles by April 2023, then climbed to 10,583 miles in April 2024 and 12,233 miles by May 2025. Annual averages sit near 720 miles. A near-static reading between 2021 and 2023 suggests the bike stood unused for long periods. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still inspect the machine in person for issues that MOT tests on two-wheelers may not expose in depth. Long standing invites perished rubber, stiff suspension linkage, and flat-spotted tyres despite the pass results. Check brake calipers for binding after storage and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limit under warm running. Given the absent advisories across all four tests, no recurring mechanical or structural fault trend exists in the data. The previous keeper appears to have stored the vehicle well and covered only short distances, which limits wear on drivetrain and brake discs. A pre-purchase look at corrosion on the frame and fork legs remains sensible given the age.
