2014 Suzuki GSX 1250 FA 1.3L Petrol · HY64 MPZ

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent MOT on 21 May 2026 at 7,155 miles. While the vehicle maintains a consistent pass record, a recurring fault regarding a noisy exhaust has appeared in several recent tests. This issue was noted in the May 2025 test at 6,139 miles and again in the May 2026 test at 7,155 miles, following a previous instance in March 2022 at 3,776 miles. This pattern suggests a persistent mechanical or structural issue with the exhaust system that has not been fully rectified despite passing the tests. The mileage history indicates exceptionally low usage for a 2014 model, averaging approximately 596 miles per year. The data shows significant periods of inactivity, such as the gap between the April 2021 test at 2,048 miles and the March 2022 test at 3,776 miles, where the vehicle covered 1,728 miles over nearly a year. The most recent interval between May 2025 and May 2026 saw an increase to roughly 1,000 miles, yet the total odometer reading remains very low. Such low annual mileage often implies the vehicle spends long periods stationary, which can lead to specific maintenance concerns. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the exhaust assembly, specifically looking for loose mounting brackets, perished rubber hangers, or corrosion in the manifold and silencer sections that could cause the reported noise. Because the low mileage suggests infrequent use, it is also necessary to check for signs of age-related degradation that occur even when a vehicle is not being ridden. This includes inspecting the condition of tyres for flat spots or sidewall cracking, checking the fuel system for any signs of degradation, and ensuring the battery and electrical components remain healthy. The absence of recorded defects in the 2023 and 2024 tests suggests that primary components like brakes, tyres, and lights have been maintained to a sufficient standard. However, the recurring exhaust advisory remains the primary mechanical outlier in the record. A thorough check of the engine mounts and the integrity of the exhaust heat shields is advised to determine if the noise is a simple fix or indicative of deeper structural fatigue in the mounting points.
