2018 Suzuki Gsxs 125 AL8 0.1L Petrol · LB67 XCC

The vehicle shows signs of a declining maintenance trend regarding the drivetrain and control components. While the most recent test on 31 October 2025 at 12,019 miles resulted in a pass, this followed a significant failure just two days prior. The failure on 29 October 2025 highlighted critical issues including an excessively loose and worn drive chain, a worn rear sprocket, and excessive play in both the rear wheel bearing and the rear sprocket carrier bearing. Although the noisy exhaust and bent clutch lever remained as minor defects, the severity of the drivetrain failures suggests that essential mechanical upkeep has been neglected in recent months. The recorded mileage of 12,019 over approximately eight years averages roughly 1,500 miles per year, which is low for a vehicle of this age. However, the data reveals periods of inactivity and inconsistent usage. There is a notable gap in testing between January 2024 and November 2024, and the mileage only increased by 854 miles between the January 2024 test and the November 2024 test. Such low annual mileage often leads to component degradation due to standing, as evidenced by the perished tyres flagged during the 11 January 2024 inspection. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the drive system. The history of drive chain, sprocket, and cushdrive issues dating back to December 2022 indicates a recurring pattern of drivetrain wear. You should check the current tension and condition of the chain and sprockets, and verify that the rear wheel and sprocket carrier bearings are free from play. The steering head bearings were noted as stiff or notchy in December 2022, so the handling should be tested for any binding or notched sensations. Finally, inspect the tyres and control levers. The record shows a history of perished rubber and bent levers, specifically the front brake lever in January 2024 and the clutch lever in October 2025. Ensure all rubber components are supple and free from age-related cracking, and confirm that all levers and controls operate smoothly without mechanical interference.
