1979 Suzuki TS 250 0.2L Petrol · FGW 125V

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status following a clean MOT test result. The most recent inspection on February 25 2026 at 13,466 miles showed no recorded defects, indicating that the motorcycle currently meets the minimum safety standards. This follows a period of consistent passing, suggesting that the owner maintains the vehicle to a functional standard and addresses issues identified during annual inspections. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 47-year-old machine, averaging approximately 287 miles per year. Between September 2021 and February 2026, the vehicle covered only 120 miles, which confirms the bike is likely stored for long periods or used only for very short seasonal trips rather than as daily transport. While this low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, long-term standing often leads to secondary issues like degraded rubber seals, perished tyres, and internal corrosion within the fuel system. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and structural integrity points. The failure in September 2022 at 13,369 miles was due to a nearside rear shock absorber being insecurely attached. While this was rectified for the subsequent pass, the buyer should verify the mounting bolts and pivot points for signs of shearing or excessive play. Given the age and low usage, it is also vital to inspect the brake lines for cracking and the fork seals for signs of weeping, as these components fail through age regardless of mileage.
