2017 Suzuki Gsxr 1000 AL7 ABS 1.0L Petrol · SA51 YYY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in May 2026 at 15,750 miles. The maintenance trend appears relatively stable, though the latest inspection identified a minor defect regarding a noisy offside rear upper exhaust. While the bike passed the test, the presence of an exhaust-related issue suggests mechanical wear on mounting brackets or internal pipework that requires attention to prevent further degradation or structural failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,750 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between the January 2022 test at 12,285 miles and the May 2026 test at 15,750 miles, representing only 3,465 miles covered over four years. This pattern suggests the vehicle spends long periods stationary, which can often lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and fluid oxidation despite the low overall mechanical wear. A buyer should physically inspect the exhaust system to determine if the reported noise is due to a loose bracket or a failing baffle. Given that the 2022 test flagged a rear tyre worn to the legal limit, it is vital to check the age and condition of the current tyres, as low-mileage tyres often rot before the tread wears out. Additionally, examine the brake calipers for seizing and the fork seals for leaks, as long periods of inactivity frequently cause these components to fail upon resumed use.
