2002 Suzuki AN650 0.6L Petrol · GP02 AEY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a clear trend of reactive rather than proactive servicing. While the most recent test in March 2026 at 40,708 miles passed, the tester flagged both front brake pads reaching the minimum limit. This follows a recurring pattern seen in previous years where components are only addressed once they reach failure-critical thresholds. The overall state is stable in terms of passing tests, but the data suggests the owner tends to perform the minimum work required to satisfy the annual MOT test. At 40,708 miles over 24 years, the motorcycle has covered exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 1,700 miles per year. This low usage suggests long periods of storage, evidenced by the 5,000-mile gap between March 2019 and March 2020. However, low mileage often correlates with age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear. The record confirms this through persistent pitting and scoring on brake discs dating back 2015 through 2024, which is typically a result of corrosion from the vehicle sitting stationary rather than high-speed friction. Specific attention must be paid to the wheel bearings and braking system. The vehicle failed in August 2023 due to excessive play in the front wheel bearing and slight play in the rear, which mirrored a failure in March 2020 and 2019. Additionally, rear brake binding appeared in 2019 and 2023, indicating potential issues with seized calipers or neglected seals. A buyer should verify the current state of the wheel bearings and ensure the brake discs have been replaced if the deep pitting noted recent years has compromised the structural integrity of the braking surfaces.
