2013 Suzuki Gsxr 750 L3 0.8L Petrol · KT13 BVA

The Suzuki GSXR 750 presents a remarkably clean MOT history, with the most recent test on 7 October 2025 at 14,750 miles passing without any defects or advisories. This consistency extends back to at least May 2022, where the vehicle also cleared its test at 12,885 miles with no issues recorded. The absence of recurring faults—whether in brakes, suspension, or structural components—suggests the bike has been well maintained or subjected to minimal use. Such a flawless record over three years is unusual for a motorcycle of this age and mileage, particularly given the potential for wear on consumables like tyres, brakes, and chain components. The recorded mileage of 14,750 miles over roughly 13 years indicates extremely light usage, averaging just over 1,100 miles annually. This is well below the typical annual mileage for a sportbike, which often exceeds 3,000 miles. The gaps between tests are also notable: the bike sat for nearly 17 months between the May 2023 and September 2024 MOTs, during which it covered just 609 miles. Such low mileage could imply the motorcycle has spent extended periods in storage, which may have contributed to its pristine condition but also raises questions about the health of components like rubber seals, suspension bushes, and battery integrity. The lack of mileage accumulation reduces wear on drivetrain elements, but it does not eliminate the need for proactive checks on items prone to degradation even under minimal use. Given the absence of MOT advisories, a buyer should still prioritise a thorough pre-purchase inspection, particularly focusing on areas less likely to be caught in a basic test. Pay close attention to the condition of the chain and sprockets, as these are critical for power transfer and safety but are not routinely inspected during MOTs. Check for signs of corrosion or dryness in the chain, and verify the tension and wear on the sprockets. The suspension components—such as the fork seals, rear shock bushings, and swingarm bearings—should be examined for leaks, stiffness, or excessive play, as these can degrade even with low mileage. Inspect the brake system beyond the MOT’s basic checks: look for uneven pad wear, glazing, or contamination, and ensure the calipers move freely without binding. Finally, assess the battery’s health, as prolonged storage can lead to sulphation or reduced capacity, and verify the condition of the rubber mounts and seals around the engine and exhaust, which may have deteriorated over time despite the low mileage.
