2007 Suzuki AN400 0.4L Petrol · PE07 JRO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of deferred repairs rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in April 2026 at 39,375 miles passed, the tester flagged a minor exhaust leak and a pitted rear brake disc. These issues are a continuation of faults noted back to 2024 and 2025, suggesting that the owner only addresses components once they reach a threshold of failure rather than replacing them during service. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nineteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,000 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between 2018 and 2021, where the vehicle covered only 354 miles over three years. Since 2021, the usage has increased slightly, covering over 13,000 miles in five years. This low-frequency use often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids, evidenced by the recurring brake and steering issues recorded in the later MOT tests. A buyer must conduct a close inspection of the steering assembly, as the steering headbearing was flagged as stiff or notchy in both 2021 and 2023. The braking system requires a thorough check due to a history of binding rear calipers, contaminated fluid, and worn pads. The buyer should specifically verify the condition of the rear brake discs which showed pitting in the 2026 test. Additionally, the persistent exhaust leak noted since 2024 indicates a likely gasket or manifold issue that will eventually require attention to ensure exhaust emissions remain within limits.
