2017 Suzuki AN 400 AL8 0.4L Petrol · LR67 XJA

The Suzuki AN 400 presents a stable and unblemished mechanical history, culminating in a clean pass on 27 October 2023 at 17,235 miles. The maintenance trend remains firmly stable, with zero defects recorded across the three available tests. This consistent pass rate indicates the scooter has remained structurally sound and mechanically compliant, requiring no remedial work to meet minimum roadworthiness standards. The mileage accumulation is notably low for a nine-year-old machine, averaging roughly 1,915 miles annually. Between the September 2021 test at 12,130 miles and the October 2022 test at 12,468 miles, the scooter covered only 338 miles over a twelve-month period. Mileage then increased more noticeably to 17,235 miles by the October 2023 test, adding 4,767 miles in a single year. This pattern suggests a period of near-static storage or very light local use followed by a phase of more regular riding. Despite the clean MOT record, prolonged periods of inactivity warrant a thorough physical inspection. A buyer should scrutinize the condition of the tyres for flat-spotting and sidewall perishing, as low annual mileage often means rubber degrades from age rather than wear. The brake system requires close examination; seized calipers or pitted brake discs can develop when a machine stands idle. Suspension components, particularly the seals and fork stanchions, should be checked for corrosion. Inspect the final drive and CVT belt for cracking, as these consumables deteriorate with time regardless of mileage. Verify the battery health and charging system output, as infrequent use often leads to premature battery failure.
