2008 Suzuki GSF1200 1.2L Petrol · MK58 LUB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass during its most recent inspection. The latest MOT conducted in April 2022 at 19,444 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, following a previous pass at the same mileage that also listed no faults. This suggests the motorcycle currently meets minimum legal standards for road use without showing a history of recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation in the recorded testing data. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,080 miles per year. Between March 2019 at 18,279 miles and April 2022 at 19,444 miles, the vehicle covered only 1,165 miles over three years. This indicates the bike has likely sat stationary for long periods or was used very sparingly. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of inactivity often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid chemistry. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components susceptible to long-term storage rather than mileage-related wear. Given the low usage, specifically check for perished brake hoses, leaking fork seals, and aged tyres that may show deep cracking despite having significant tread. The record does not flag past corrosion on the frame or swingarm, but a visual check for structural integrity and rust at mounting points is necessary. Ensure the brake calipers have not seized due to inactivity, as this is a common issue for vehicles that sit for extended durations.
