2008 Suzuki AN400 0.4L Petrol · GD08 FVH

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recurring issue with the braking system. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 43,789 miles passed, the tester flagged a slightly binding front brake and noted rear inner brake pads approaching the minimum limit. This follows a failure in January 2024 where the front brake was excessively binding, indicating that while repairs are being addressed, the underlying mechanical condition of the calipers or hydraulic lines requires ongoing attention. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,433 miles per year. The data shows significant gaps in usage, such as the 1,187 miles covered between January 2025 and January 2026, and only 542 miles recorded between June 2023 and January 2024. This low mileage often leads to degradation of rubber components, seals, and corrosion due to lack of regular motion, which may account for the binding brake issues noted in the record. A buyer must personally inspect the braking assembly to determine if the binding front caliper is a result of seized pistons or simply neglected lubrication. The repeated mentions of worn rear discs and thin pads suggest that the braking system is being maintained reactively rather than through preventative care. Additionally, the history of headlight aim repairs using tape in both 2025 and 2026 suggests a makeshift approach to lighting alignment that should be verified for secure mounting and proper illumination at night.
