2012 Suzuki GW 250 L3 0.2L Petrol · LC62 ABZ

The Suzuki GW 250 demonstrates an exceptionally stable maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass on 23 February 2026 at a verified mileage of 17,943. The test history shows zero current advisories and a flawless run of consecutive passes extending back through February 2025, March 2024, and March 2023. A single failure recorded on 16 March 2023 without any associated defect text appears to be an administrative or procedural re-test correction rather than a mechanical fault, as the machine passed later the very same day. At approximately fourteen years of age, the recorded mileage of 17,943 equates to an annual average of just under 1,300 miles, confirming very light and sporadic usage. This low-mileage profile indicates the machine spent extended periods laid up in storage rather than seeing regular daily service. Such minimal use patterns often point toward careful dry storage by previous keepers, though prospective buyers must remain vigilant for the specific vulnerabilities associated with prolonged inactivity. Despite the pristine MOT record and lack of historical advisories, low-mileage motorcycles require careful physical scrutiny of perishable components. The physical inspection should prioritize checking the fuel system for varnish accumulation from stale petrol, inspecting rubber intake boots and hydraulic hoses for perishing, and examining fork seals for weeping caused by dried-out sealing lips. Furthermore, verify the condition of the drive chain and tyres, as rubber compounds can degrade structurally through age hardening long before tread wear reaches critical limits.
