MOT Analysis

Interpretation generated from the recorded test data above — not an official DVSA statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

23 MOT tests are recorded for this 1998 Suzuki Gsf600 (R38 MFE) between April 2006 and July 2025.

The record contains 15 passes and 8 failures.

The most recent test on 15 July 2025 was a pass, although the earlier record includes 8 failures that buyers may want to investigate.

Across all tests, the most frequently flagged areas are: Brakes (12 issues), Exhaust & Emissions (8 issues), Suspension (8 issues), Lighting (6 issues), Tyres (2 issues). Repeated mentions in one area can indicate an ongoing pattern worth checking in person.

In total 29 advisory notices are recorded. Advisories flag items that passed but may need attention before the next test; they are not evidence of how well the vehicle has been serviced.

Recorded failure items include: “All position lamps not working (4.2.1 (a))”; “Registration plate inscription illegible (0.1 (b))”; “Registration plate does not conform to the specified requirements (0.1 (d))”.
