2002 Suzuki GSXR600 0.6L Petrol · LF52 LOA

The most recent MOT on 2025-02-03 recorded several issues, including a noisy exhaust, a rear brake pedal with increased travel, a non-functional front pass switch, and a rear brake disc that was worn, pitted, or scored. While the bike passed, these findings indicate potential safety risks, particularly with braking and emissions. The exhaust noise suggests possible corrosion or damage, which could worsen over time. The rear brake disc condition raises concerns about stopping power, especially if the wear is progressive. Recurring mechanical patterns include exhaust-related defects, which appeared in 2025, 2019, and 2016. The 2016 MOT noted a noisy exhaust and a slightly loose drive chain, while the 2019 MOT highlighted a near-limit tire and a misaligned reflector. These issues suggest the bike may have experienced gradual wear, though many were minor or non-safety-critical. The 2023 MOT included a failed headlamp and a broken mirror, but these were addressed by the 2025 test. The trend shows mixed results. While the 2025 MOT had more issues than the 2019 and 2016 tests, the 2023 failure was resolved.
