2015 Suzuki GSR 0.7L Petrol · LS65 RHJ

The vehicle is currently in a state of poor roadworthiness following a failed MOT in August 2024 at 17,239 miles. The maintenance trend shows a significant decline, moving from a clean record in 2019 to multiple critical mechanical and safety failures. The tester identified a binding front brake, an insecure rider seat, and missing body components. The presence of an Engine Management Light during the latest test suggests an electronic or sensor fault that remains unaddressed despite the obvious mechanical failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,567 miles per year. There is a notable five-year gap between the January 2019 test at 7,228 miles and the August 2024 test at 17,239 miles. While low mileage generally reduces engine wear, long periods of inactivity often lead to the specific issues recorded here, such as the rusty drive chain and the binding brake caliper, which result from corrosion and seized components rather than high use. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system to ensure the binding caliper has been properly serviced and the discs are not adversely scored. The drive chain requires a close look for deep rust or link seizing, as the tester flagged its condition. Additionally, the seat mountings and handlebar grips should be verified for security, as these have been recurring failure points. Given the active Engine Management Light, a diagnostic scan is necessary to determine if the fault is a simple sensor failure or a more serious mechanical issue exacerbated by the vehicle's long storage periods.
