2008 Suzuki GSX 1300 RK8 1.3L Petrol · SP08 UNB

The vehicle maintains a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test on June 6 2024 at 20,852 miles recorded no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the mechanical and structural components have met DVSA safety standards without the recurring failures or progressive corrosion issues often seen in older motorcycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2008 model vehicle, averaging approximately 1,158 miles per year. Between June 2020 and June 2024, the motorcycle covered only 872 miles, moving from 19,980 to 20,852 miles. This low usage suggests the bike has been stored for long periods or used sparingly. While this reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it increases the risk of material degradation in rubber components and fluid breakdown due to age rather than mechanical friction. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the risks associated with low-mileage storage. Check the tyres for flat-spotting and sidewalling cracking, as tread depth may be sufficient despite the age. Examine the brake lines for perish and ensure the calipers have not seized from disuse. Given the vehicle's age, inspect the frame for signs of surface rust and check the fuel system for varnish, as age-related corrosion can occur regardless of how few miles the machine has clocked.
