2022 Suzuki Gsxs 1000 RQ M2 1.0L Petrol · DG22 AEB

This Suzuki GSX-S 1000 RQ demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed both its most recent MOT test on 17 September 2025 and the preceding one on 24 January 2025 without any recorded defects or advisories. The vehicle’s compliance with all mandatory checks—including brakes, lights, steering, suspension, and emissions—remains consistent over the past eight months, suggesting no recurring mechanical failures or deferred maintenance. However, the lack of defects does not preclude the need for a thorough independent inspection, particularly given the exceptionally low mileage and the motorcycle’s age. The recorded mileage of 721 miles over a four-year period—approximately 180 miles annually—is unusually low for a motorcycle of this type and age. Such minimal usage may indicate prolonged storage, which can accelerate degradation of critical components like rubber seals, battery health, and fuel system integrity. The identical mileage at both MOT tests further implies no significant riding activity between tests, raising questions about whether the motorcycle has been regularly operated or merely maintained in a static condition. This pattern warrants scrutiny of fluid levels, chain tension, and electrical systems, as prolonged inactivity can lead to preventable wear. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of consumable elements that degrade over time regardless of mileage. The suspension bushes and coil springs, while not explicitly tested in the MOT, may exhibit stiffness or corrosion after extended periods of non-use. The braking system—particularly the rear calipers and discs—should be checked for binding or uneven wear, as static conditions can cause seizing. Tyre tread depth, though not flagged, remains a concern given the motorcycle’s age; even low mileage does not negate the need for visual inspection of casing integrity and sidewall cracks. Finally, the battery and electrical connections should be assessed, as prolonged disuse can lead to sulfation or corrosion, compromising starting reliability.
