2008 Suzuki GSR 600 K8 0.6L Petrol · MA58 OPN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT test in September 2025 at 26,206 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a singular mechanical failure just one week prior to that pass. The failure recorded at 26,177 miles due to an excessively binding rear brake indicates that the issue was addressed and rectified immediately, as the subsequent test 29 days later showed no further defects or advisories. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,456 miles per year. The data shows a significant increase in usage between September 2023 and August 2025, where the bike covered over 8,000 miles in just two years. Prior to this period, the vehicle saw very little movement, covering only 418 miles between April 2022 and September 2023. Such periods of intermittent use often lead to age-related degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluids rather than mechanical wear from mileage. A buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear braking system to ensure the binding issue was fully resolved and that the caliper pistons are not seizing. Given the low mileage and long periods of standing, it is vital to check for perished brake hoses, degraded fork seals, and tyre cracking that occurs despite minimal use. Inspect the frame for structural integrity and the swingarm for corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles stored in damp environments can suffer from hidden rust that high-frequency use might avoid.
