1973 Suzuki GT250 0.2L Petrol · PKL 73M

The vehicle holds a technically roadworthy status based on its most recent certification. In the June 18, 2022 test at 1,545 miles, the motorcycle passed with no defects or advisories recorded. Because no tests have been conducted since that date, the maintenance trend is static, and the lack of recent data means the current mechanical condition cannot be verified through official records alone. The recorded mileage of 1,545 miles is exceptionally low for a 53-year-old machine, averaging less than 30 miles per year. This low usage suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods in storage rather than being subjected to regular wear. The four-year gap between the 2022 MOT and the current date of July2026 indicates that the last test is now expired, which increases the risk of component degradation that does not manifest through low odometer readings. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components affected by long-term sitting. Low mileage does not account for dry rot or cracking in rubber hoses, fuel lines, and fork seals, which may have perished despite lack of use. The tester should check the frame for structural corrosion and inspect the brake system to ensure calipers have not seized and that hydraulic fluid has not absorbed moisture. Tyres and chain integrity also require critical scrutiny, as age-related hardening often precedes tread depth wear. Given the sparse history, the buyer should verify the fuel system for varnish and ensure the engine seals remain lubricated after the period of inactivity. The clean 2022 record provides a baseline, but the elapsed time since the last professional inspection necessitates a comprehensive mechanical overhaul before any significant road use.
