2008 Suzuki AN400 0.4L Petrol · DX08 OCZ

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean MOT pass in April 2026 at 38,392 miles. The recorded history suggests the maintenance trend has stabilized after a period of neglect in mid-2024. While the 2024 failure indicated a lapse in preventative care, the subsequent pass just five days later demonstrates that the owner addressed the identified braking issues immediately, returning the motorcycle to a standard without further defects. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old machine, averaging only approximately 2,133 miles per year. Between July 2022 and April 2026, the vehicle covered just 4,416 miles, indicating very infrequent use or long storage periods. This low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it often introduces risks related to age-related components, such as perished seals, oxidised brake components, and the degradation of rubber-based parts that do down over time regardless of distance travelled. A buyer must conduct a close physical inspection of the braking system, as the July 2024 failure highlighted a significantly worn nearside front disc and thin pads across multiple axles. Although these were replaced, the low usage frequency means the brake calipers are prone to seizing or fluid absorbing moisture due to inactivity. Given the vehicle's age, verify the condition of the tyres for sidewall cracking and inspect the frame for structural corrosion, which often affects low-mileage bikes that have sat in damp environments for extended periods despite despite no structural defects currently being flagged in the recent records.
