2008 Suzuki GSX1400 1.4L Petrol · SP08 UNY

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 12 May 2026 at 26,257 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend appears stable and proactive, following several consecutive clean passes over the last three years. This suggests that the motorcycle has been well-maintained and does not suffer from the mechanical or structural degradation typically seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,459 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between March 2022 and February 2023, where the bike covered only 3,867 miles in eleven months. Since 2023, the usage has remained consistent, averaging between 800 and 900 miles annually. Such low mileage often reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the risk of rubber-based degradation and fluid breakdown due to stationary periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the 2022 test at 19,744 miles flagged both front and rear pads reaching the minimum limit. While these appear to have been replaced given the subsequent clean records, the discs should be checked for pitting or corrosion caused by infrequent use. Given the low mileage, a close look at the tyre walls for cracking or dry rot is essential, as rubber ages out regardless of tread depth. Inspect the frame for surface corrosion to ensure the structural integrity remains intact after decades of storage.
