1998 Suzuki GSF1200 1.2L Petrol · R582 AWA

The vehicle presents a consistent and stable maintenance profile according to the official MOT history. The most recent test on 20 February 2026 at 22,221 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a series of clean passes dating back to at least 2021, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that satisfies basic regulatory requirements without recurring mechanical or structural issues. The recorded mileage of 22,221 miles is exceptionally low for a 1998 model, averaging approximately 794 miles per year. This pattern is evident in the incremental increases between tests, such as the 200-mile increase between the September 2024 and February 2026 entries. While the low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, such extended periods of inactivity can lead to degradation in rubber seals, fuel system integrity, and battery health. A physical inspection should focus on components that deteriorate through age rather than mileage. Given the low annual usage, a buyer should scrutinise the condition of the tyres for age-related cracking or flat spots, and check the suspension bushes and fork seals for signs of perished rubber. The lack of advisories regarding corrosion or brake binding in the recent history is a positive indicator, but the chassis and subframes should still be checked for any signs of surface rust or structural degradation common in older motorcycles.
