2002 Suzuki GSXR1000 1.0L Petrol · KM02 XKA

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 23 April 2026 at 20,453 miles. This result followed several clean passes, indicating that the motorcycle currently meets all minimum regulatory standards without defects. The history shows a consistent pattern of passing over the last three years, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable parameters despite the aging platform. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old machine, averaging approximately 852 miles per year. Data between the April 2023 test at 20,250 miles and the April 2026 test at 20,453 miles shows the vehicle covered only 203 miles in three years. While this indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine, such infrequent use often implies long periods of the vehicle standing. This can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, fluid acidity, and seal corrosion that mileage alone does not capture. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas associated with low usage rather than mechanical wear. The failure on 21 March 2024 for a low headlamp aim was a minor adjustment issue, but the lack of other advisories suggests the tester did not find significant structural rust. Inspect the brake lines for cracking from age and check the tyres for flat spots or perish rot. Given the low mileage, verify the frame for any surface corrosion and ensure the fork seals have not perished, which frequently occurs when motorcycles remain stationary.
