2002 Suzuki GSX1400 1.4L Petrol · EO02 AYH

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile, with the most recent MOT tests in July 2021 and July 2022 showing clean passes with no recorded defects. This suggests that recent ownership has successfully addressed previous mechanical issues. The history indicates a trend of resolving minor faults, such as the dipped beam headlamp and rear wheel bearing play noted during the May 2020 failure, which were cleared by the subsequent 2021 and 2022 tests. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 2002 model, averaging approximately 1,700 miles per year. The data shows a consistent, slow accumulation of distance, moving from 21,930 miles in March 2013 to 40,896 miles in July 2022. While this low usage suggests minimal drivetrain wear, the significant gaps between tests and the low annual mileage imply the motorcycle may spend long periods stationary. This pattern can lead to secondary issues like perished rubber components or seized parts that are not always captured by a standard MOT inspection. A prospective buyer should focus on consumable wear and components affected by long periods of inactivity. The record shows recurring advisories regarding brake pad thickness, specifically in April 2018, April 2019, and March 2013. Although the 2022 record is clean, a physical inspection of the front brake pads and discs is necessary to ensure they have not degraded or corroded. The May 2020 report of a rear wheel bearing with slight play should also be re-verified to confirm the component has been replaced or that the play has not returned. Finally, inspect the exhaust system and electrical connections. The May 2019 test flagged a noisy rear exhaust, and the 2010 failure noted non-functional indicators. While these appear to be isolated incidents, checking the integrity of the exhaust mounting and the functionality of all lighting circuits will ensure no latent electrical or structural issues remain from previous maintenance cycles.
