2008 Suzuki AN 400 K8 0.4L Petrol · OU58 CGG

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 30 November 2023 at 30,897 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure noted on the same day. The lack of specific defect data for that failure suggests a minor administrative or superficial issue that was rectified immediately before the retest, rather than a systemic mechanical or structural failure. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging only approximately 1,716 miles per year. Between September 2020 and November 2023, the bike covered only 2,967 miles, indicating long periods of very light use or annual intervals of less than 800 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle has likely been used for short-distance trips or has sat in storage for extended periods. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components and internal corrosion in fluid systems that is not reflected by mileage alone. A buyer should focus their in-person inspection on components affected by age rather than mileage. Since the MOT record shows no advisories for structural rust or mechanical wear, the primary risks involve the condition of the tyres, perished brake hoses, and seized brake calipers due to inactivity. Inspect the fork seals for weeping and check the fuel system for signs of moisture or varnish contamination. Given the gap since the last MOT in late 2023, a fresh inspection is required to ensure no new age-related faults have developed since the last official test.
