2004 Suzuki VL 800 0.8L Petrol · NK54 VHE

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 20 June 2024 at 32 978 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable; the three successive tests (May 2022, June 2023, June 2024) all returned passes, indicating consistent basic upkeep and no recurring faults. Mileage accumulates at roughly 1 500 miles per year, a low rate for a 22‑year‑old model. Between May 2022 (28 717 miles) and June 2023 (31 525 miles) the car covered 2 808 miles in eleven months, then only 1 453 miles in the following twelve months to reach 32 978 miles in June 2024. The slowing mileage suggests periods of light use or storage. The most recent MOT is from June 2024, leaving a gap of almost three years before the current date, which is a significant interval without official roadworthiness verification. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should conduct a hands‑on inspection of suspension bushes and coil springs for age‑related degradation, examine brake discs and calipers for corrosion or uneven wear, and check the exhaust system for rust. Tyre tread depth and pressure must be verified, as low mileage does not guarantee good tyre condition. The chassis, underbody and door sills should be inspected for rust or structural corrosion typical of a vehicle of this age. Finally, the battery, wiring harness and fluid levels need assessment to confirm that long periods of inactivity have not caused deterioration.
