2014 Suzuki Gsxr 1.0L Petrol · SR14 EGC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection history indicates a decline in proactive maintenance following several years of clean records. In the February 2024 test at 30,154 miles, the motorcycle failed due to an inoperative registration plate lamp, a faulty horn, a loose drive chain, and a rear tyre nearing the legal limit. While it passed the immediate retest, the presence of multiple defects suggests that basic consumable checks were neglected until the MOT deadline approached. The mileage pattern is notably low for a twelve-year-old machine, averaging only approximately 2,500 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between October 2022 at 11,938 miles and February 2024 at 30,154 miles, during which the bike covered over 18,000 miles in just sixteen months. This sudden burst of activity after long periods of low mileage can sometimes lead to accelerated wear or stress on rubber-based components and seals, which may have dried out during the stationary periods despite the low total figure on the artwork. A buyer must physically inspect the drive chain and sprockets for stretch and sprocket wear, as this was already flagged as loose in 2024. Given the age of the bike and the low mileage, the tyres should be checked for motion cracking or flat spotting rather than just tread depth, as the vehicle likely sat stationary. The electrical system, specifically the horn and lighting circuits mentioned in the previous failure, should be tested to ensure no further corrosion or corrosion has occurred during the long intervals of disuse.
