2010 Suzuki GSF 1250 SA L0 1.3L Petrol · FT10 AUE

This Suzuki GSF1250 has maintained a consistent MOT pass record over the past four tests, with no defects or advisories recorded in any of the examinations conducted between February 2022 and June 2025. The most recent test, completed just over a year ago on 12 June 2025, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues or a pattern of deferred repairs, though the absence of advisories does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or drivetrain seals, which often fail without pre-test symptoms. The recorded mileage of 17,356 miles suggests the bike has been used sparingly over its sixteen-year lifespan, averaging just over 1,000 miles annually. This is unusually low for a motorcycle of this age, implying prolonged periods of storage or minimal riding. The most significant mileage jump occurred between the February 2022 (16,502 miles) and April 2023 (16,625 miles) tests—a mere 123 miles in a year—followed by a slightly higher but still modest increase of 441 miles between April 2023 and June 2024. Such minimal usage may have preserved certain components, but it also raises concerns about potential degradation from prolonged inactivity, such as seized suspension linkages, dried lubricants in the chain or derailleurs, or corrosion in areas exposed to moisture. Given the lack of MOT advisories, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of high-wear items that often fail without pre-test indicators. Focus on the suspension system—particularly the rear shock absorber and front forks—for signs of oil leaks, worn bushes, or deteriorated coil springs. The brakes, despite passing tests, warrant scrutiny: check for uneven disc thickness, glazed pads, or binding calipers, as these issues can develop gradually without triggering an MOT fail. The chain and sprocket should be examined for excessive wear or improper tension, as prolonged storage can accelerate corrosion or stretch. Finally, inspect the frame and fuel tank for structural rust, especially around the fuel lines and under the seat, where moisture accumulation is common in parked motorcycles. The absence of MOT defects does not guarantee these areas are intact.
