1981 Suzuki GSX1100 1.1L Petrol · PRC 251W

The Suzuki GSX1100 is currently roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 2025‑10‑08 recorded a pass with zero defects. The maintenance trend is stable, as all three tests since June 2023 have returned passes, indicating consistent care and no emerging issues. The latest test falls within the standard 12‑month validity window, confirming the vehicle’s compliance at the time of inspection. Mileage progression shows a low‑use pattern for a 45‑year‑old machine. Between June 2023 (34,061 mi) and October 2024 (34,269 mi) the odometer advanced 208 mi over roughly four months, then only 88 mi in the following twelve months to October 2025 (34,357 mi). The intervals between MOTs—approximately 16 months from 2023 to 2024 and 12 months thereafter—are within normal scheduling, and the slowing mileage gain suggests lighter usage rather than excessive wear. Although the MOT record is clean, a prospective buyer should conduct a hands‑on inspection of key wear‑prone areas. Examine suspension bushes for cracking or excessive play, check brake discs and pads for uneven wear or corrosion, and assess tyre tread depth and alignment. Inspect the exhaust system for rust or leaks, the battery for electrolyte levels and terminal corrosion, and look for any oil or coolant seepage from seals. A visual scan of the frame and footwell for structural rust, together with a test of steering freeplay and clutch operation, will provide a fuller picture of the bike’s condition beyond the documented passes.
