2009 Suzuki GZ 125 K8 0.1L Petrol · GJ09 VMP

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful MOT test in June 2025 at 5,531 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though a recent failure just days prior to that pass at 5,525 miles indicates a lapse in preventative inspection. The tester flagged a structural failure in the rear tyre, which was addressed immediately to achieve the subsequent clean pass, suggesting the owner is reactive to safety-critical defects once they are identified. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 325 miles per year. There is a significant five-year gap between October 2014 and October 2019 during which the bike covered only 62 miles. Since then, usage has remained minimal, with only 1,190 miles recorded over the last six years. While this low mileage limits mechanical wear on the engine, age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids is likely due to long periods of standing rather than active use. A buyer should specifically inspect the braking system and drivetrain, as these have shown recurring points of concern. The 2024 test at 5,429 miles highlighted nearside front brake pads nearing the minimum limit and a loose drive chain, while the 2013 failure noted thin front pads and excessive chain slack. Given the low usage, the buyer must check for seized caliper pistons, perished seals, and dry, oxidised chain links. Additionally, the age of all tyres and hoses is vital, as the 2025 tyre structural failure proves that rubber can degrade regardless of tread depth.
