2018 Suzuki DL 1000 AL8 ABS 1.0L Petrol · K4 MKL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent record of passes across its MOT history. The most recent inspection conducted on 13 July 2023 at 4,807 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend indicates that the motorcycle has been maintained to a high standard and has not encountered significant mechanical failures or structural degradation during the documented testing periods. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old machine, averaging approximately 600 miles per year. Between the July 2021 test at 2,752 miles and the July 2022 test at 3,972 miles, the bike covered only 1,220 miles. A further 835 miles were recorded between the 2022 and 2023 tests. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of age-related degradation during long periods of inactivity. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection focusing on issues associated with low-mileage storage. Particular attention must be paid to flat spots on the tyres, perished rubber components such as fork seals and brake lines, and potential for surface corrosion on the drive chain and brake discs. Because the bike has spent significant time stationary, the condition of the fluids, specifically brake fluid and engine oil, should be inspected for moisture contamination or degradation despite the clean mechanical record.
