2004 Suzuki GSX1000 K4 1.0L Petrol · FN04 HGU

The 2004 Suzuki GSX1000 K4 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 27 March 2025 at 13,482 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior clean pass dated 26 March 2024 at 12,056 miles confirms no outstanding advisories or mechanical faults across the available history. Recorded mileage sits at 13,482 miles against 22 years of age, an average of roughly 613 miles per year. The bike covered only 1,426 miles between the 29 March 2023 test at 10,484 miles and the 27 March 2025 test at 13,482 miles, with a near-static reading of 10,481 miles on 27 August 2022 suggesting long standing periods. Such low use typically spares consumables but raises the risk of perished seals, flat-spotted tyres, and corrosion from inactivity rather than wear. The 26 March 2024 entry shows a fail immediately followed by a pass at identical mileage with no defects listed, indicating an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical defect. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, calipers, or structural integrity appear in any record, so the DVSA data alone reveals no recurring fault trend. A buyer should still physically verify the items the MOT cannot capture on a low-mileage machine of this age. Inspect fork seals and shock linkage for weepage, check brake calipers for binding after standing, and examine the frame and exhaust for internal corrosion. Confirm tyre sidewalls are not cracked from age and that the chain and sprockets remain free of rust pitting before purchase.
