2008 Suzuki AN400 0.4L Petrol · FH08 NBD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passing MOT examinations. The most recent test conducted in January 2024 at 23,222 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the motorcycle has remained in a compliant condition since its last inspection. This trend suggests a period of effective maintenance, as the vehicle has avoided any major mechanical failures or structural degradation in the last five testing cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,300 miles per year. Data shows significant intervals of low usage, such as the 262 miles covered between September 2021 and January 2024, and only 500 miles in the three year preceding that. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing can lead to secondary issues like perished rubber seals, fluid degradation, or internal corrosion within brake components which are not always captured by the MOT test alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age rather than mileage. The 2019 test at 22,194 miles flagged wear on both the nearside and offside brake pivots, and while these passed subsequent tests, the buyer should verify that the braking action remains fluid and free of excessive seizing. Given the low usage, a close inspection of the tyres for age cracking and the fork seals for oil leaks is essential, as these parts often fail due to time before they reach their tread limit.
