2005 Suzuki GSF650 0.7L Petrol · EY05 TVX

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026‑04‑08 at 46 738 miles with no recorded defects, confirming current roadworthiness. The maintenance trend shows improvement; the April 2025 test at 46 599 miles had a slightly loose drive chain, rear‑tyre wear near the legal limit, and front‑shock oil mist with reduced damping, all of which are absent from the latest result. Earlier failures such as the March 2018 structural insecurity and the January 2017 binding rear brake have not reappeared, indicating that identified issues have been addressed. Mileage accumulates at roughly 2 226 miles per year, a low rate for a 21‑year‑old motorcycle, suggesting light use or prolonged periods of storage. Testing intervals are irregular: a two‑year gap between the March 2018 and April 2020 tests, and another gap before the June 2021 test. The recorded mileage rises steadily, with only modest increases between 2023 (46 139 miles) and 2025 (46 599 miles), reflecting consistent low‑usage patterns. The sparse early‑year records (2013‑2014) provide a clean baseline, while later entries reveal intermittent attention to wear items. A buyer should inspect the drive‑chain tension, rear‑tyre tread depth and wear condition, and the front shock absorbers for oil leakage and damping performance. Suspension components, particularly rear‑pin and bush wear, merit close examination, as do the rear brake pads for uneven wear and any binding behaviour. Structural integrity of the frame and security of the offside front direction indicator should be verified, together with the exhaust for abnormal noise. Finally, a thorough visual check for corrosion or rust on chassis members and fasteners will reveal any long‑term storage damage that may not have been highlighted in the MOT entries.
