2009 Suzuki GSXR750 0.7L Petrol · HG09 KWL

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026-05-02 at 17,348 miles, and the maintenance trend appears stable rather than worsening. The tester recorded two advisories: registration plate lamp throwing direct white light to the rear (4.7.1 (a)) and front tyre worn close to the legal limit (5.2.3 (e)). Both faults appeared identically in the 2025-04-14 test at 17,164 miles, indicating the same components were not replaced or corrected between tests. No failures have been recorded since 2022, and the recurring advisories are cosmetic and consumable in nature rather than structural. The recorded mileage of 17,348 miles over 17 years averages roughly 1,020 miles per year, which is notably low for a vehicle of this age. MOT records show consistent annual testing from 2012 onwards, with the most recent entries spaced approximately 12 months apart. There is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or long periods of inactivity that would suggest the vehicle was stored or neglected. The mileage pattern suggests lighter use or a secondary vehicle rather than daily commuting. A buyer should inspect the registration plate lamp assembly and front tyre condition in person, as these are the recurring faults flagged in the 2025 and 2026 tests. The registration plate lamp throwing direct white light is a common issue on Suzuki models and typically requires a bulb replacement or reflector adjustment. The front tyre wear pattern should be checked for uneven wear, which may indicate alignment issues. The 2022 rear tyre failure and 2020 exhaust noise were both resolved, but the buyer should verify that the exhaust system is secure and not emitting excessive noise. The 2012 rear suspension bearing free play should also be checked, as bearing degradation can lead to suspension failure.
