2008 Suzuki GSX1400 1.4L Petrol · FD08 FYP

The vehicle maintains a high level of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in July 2025 at 19,247 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This stable trend suggests a vehicle that has been well-maintained or stored in favourable conditions, as no recurring mechanical or structural failures have appeared over the last decade of testing. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,069 miles per year. Between August 2017 and April 2022, the bike covered only 1,305 miles, indicating long periods of stationary storage or minimal use. The jump of 6,347 miles between 2022 and 2025 shows more recent active use. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long gaps between tests often mask age-related degradation of rubber and fluids that mileage does not reflect. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on components affected by time rather than distance. Priority should be given to cracking in fuel lines, brake hoses, and fork seals, which can perish when dry regardless of low mileage. The lack of advisories in the history suggests the frame remains sound, but a physical check of the swingarm and hidden corrosion points is necessary. Additionally, the tyres should be checked for date codes, as they often lose structural integrity long before the tread wears out.
