2008 Suzuki GSF1250 1.3L Petrol · FE08 HAA

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by four consecutive MOT passes without recorded defects. The most recent test conducted on 13 May 2025 at 12,817 miles resulted in no failures, indicating that the motorcycle currently meets all minimum safety standards. This consistency suggests that the vehicle has not suffered significant mechanical failures or structural degradation over the last three years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 712 miles per year. Data shows a period of minimal use between April 2022 and April 2023, where the bike covered only 941 miles. Since the 2024 test at 12,628 miles, usage has remained sparse, with only 189 miles recorded before the 2025 inspection at 12817. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, such low intervals often imply the vehicle sits stationary for long periods at a time. A buyer must focus on the specific risks associated with low-mileage storage. The physical inspection should check for dry rot in tyres, perished rubber brake lines, and degradation of fluid integrity regardless of the tread depth. Because the MOT record shows no advisories, the buyer should still look for surface corrosion on the frame and exhaust manifold that may have developed during periods of inactivity. Additionally, inspect the front fork seals for leaks and ensure the brake calipers have not seized due to lack of use.
