1998 Suzuki Bandit 1.2L Petrol · R863 BNP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the available MOT data. The most recent test conducted on 28 September 2022 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a similar result from 16 September 2021 which also passed without issues, indicating that the vehicle met minimum legal standards during those specific inspection periods. The recorded mileage of 35,986 miles over a 28-year span represents an average usage of approximately 1,285 miles per year. This low annual mileage is significantly below the national average for a vehicle of this age. While the data is sparse, showing only two entries between 2021 and 2022, the lack of recorded failures suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to heavy stress, though low usage can sometimes lead to mechanical issues related to fluid stagnation. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components susceptible to age-related degradation despite low mileage. The record does not rule out the presence of deep structural corrosion, particularly in the sills and floor pans where Suzuki models are prone to rust. The inspector should also check for perished rubber components, leaking brake lines, and seized calipers, which often occur when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. Buying score: 68 Risk level: Low.
