2008 Suzuki GSF1250 1.3L Petrol · PN08 DDL

The Suzuki GSF1250 presents an exceptionally clean MOT record, with the most recent test completed on 16 June 2026 at 7,098 miles returning a full pass with zero defects. Every recorded test in the history, spanning from August 2018 through June 2026, has passed with no advisories or failures whatsoever. The maintenance trend is unambiguously stable and reflects a motorcycle that has been kept in outstanding mechanical condition throughout its life. The mileage pattern tells a clear story of very light use. From the August 2018 test at 4,290 miles to the May 2022 test at 4,318 miles, the bike covered just 28 miles across nearly four years, indicating it stood unused for extended periods. Usage picked up modestly from 2022 onward, with the odometer reading 5,973 miles by April 2023, 6,671 miles by May 2024, and 7,098 miles by June 2026. That equates to roughly 425 miles per year over the last four years and an annual average of approximately 394 miles across the full recorded history. The gap between 2018 and 2022 is notable and suggests the motorcycle was largely stationary during that window. Despite the flawless test record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focused on components that deteriorate with age and standing rather than mileage. Tyres deserve close scrutiny, as rubber perishes over time regardless of tread depth, and a bike sitting for years may have flat-spotted or perished tyres that an MOT does not flag until tread wears below the legal limit. The brake system, including discs, pads, caliper pistons, and brake lines, should be examined for corrosion and seizure, particularly given the long stationary period between 2018 and 2022. Suspension seals, fork oil, chain, sprockets, and all fluid systems should be checked, as prolonged inactivity can cause seals to dry out and fluids to degrade. The fuel system, including tank internals and injector or carburettor condition, warrants inspection given the extended periods without use. The MOT record confirms excellent ongoing care, but age-related deterioration is a separate concern that only a hands-on inspection can fully address.
