Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a low-mileage example of this 600cc machine. The exceptionally low mileage for a 2004 model is the primary draw, though buyers should verify maintenance beyond the MOT records.
Given the very low mileage of 27,257 miles on a 22-year-old motorcycle, your first priority should be to confirm that the bike has been serviced regularly despite infrequent use. Low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from 'age-related' issues such as perished rubber components, dried-out seals, or degraded fuel if left sitting for long periods. Ask for a documented service history to supplement the MOT data.
When viewing this specific blue GSF600, check the condition of the tyres and brake lines, as these can degrade even if the tread looks deep. Because the 2023 MOT failure did not list specific defects, ask the seller directly what required attention to rectify that failure. Negotiate based on the evidence of recent maintenance rather than just the low odometer reading.
As a 600cc petrol motorcycle, running costs are generally moderate. Fuel economy will depend heavily on riding style, but this engine size typically offers a good balance of performance and efficiency. Tax and insurance groups for a 2004 Suzuki middleweight are generally accessible, though insurance premiums can vary based on the rider's age and location.
Maintenance costs for this model are typically predictable, but because this vehicle has covered so few miles, you may encounter costs related to replacing age-sensitive items like fork oil, coolant, or battery replacements. Expect an annual running cost budget to cover fuel, routine servicing, and insurance.
Focus your inspection on the components that may have aged despite the low mileage. Check the chain and sprockets for rust or stiffness, as well as the condition of the tyres for cracks in the sidewalls. Since the 2023 MOT showed a failure followed by a pass at the same mileage (27,257), ensure the issue that caused the failure was a safety-critical item that has been properly addressed.
Examine the electrical system and lights, and check for any signs of fluid leaks around the engine seals. On a bike of this age, even with low mileage, it is worth checking the suspension for any signs of weeping or stiction, which can occur when a vehicle is not used regularly.
This 2004 Suzuki GSF600 in blue presents with significantly lower mileage than typical for its age, sitting at just 27,257 miles as of its last recorded test. The MOT history shows a relatively clean recent record, with a pass in 2022 and a successful retest in April 2023. While there was a recorded failure in April 2023, no specific defect details were provided in the digital record, meaning the cause of that failure remains unverified.
There is currently no aggregate MOT reliability data available specifically for the Suzuki GSF600 to provide a statistical trend.
