2013 Suzuki GW 250 L3 0.2L Petrol · KY63 DTO

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a minor shift toward mechanical wear. The most recent test conducted on 31 March 2022 at 15,817 miles resulted in a pass despite front brake binding. While this did not result in a failure, it indicates the onset of component-related issues within the braking system, marking a departure from the clean records seen in the preceding years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 13-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,217 miles per year. Between July 2017 and March 2022, the vehicle covered only 1,959 miles, suggesting long periods of storage or very infrequent use. This level of usage generally means less mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine, but the significant gaps between tests, combined with the low annual mileage, often point to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid quality which are not always captured by a standard MOT inspection alone. A buyer must physically inspect the front brake assembly to ensure the binding noted in 2022 has not progressed to a seized caliper or perished seals. Given the low mileage, it is critical to check for flat spots on the tyres and cracking in the sidewalls caused by standing for extended periods. You should also examine the brake discs for surface corrosion and check the structural integrity of the swing pivot area, as stationary vehicles are prone to localized rust that can compromise components over a decade if not regularly cleaned.
