2016 Suzuki GSR 0.7L Petrol · SW07 PUP

The 2016 Suzuki GSR presents a stable and unblemished maintenance trend, culminating in a clean pass at 4,733 miles on 30 April 2025. No defects were recorded during the most recent test, nor in any of the preceding four examinations. This consistent absence of advisories or failures indicates a mechanically sound motorcycle that has required no remedial attention to meet roadworthiness standards over the last three years. The recorded mileage of 4,733 miles makes this an exceptionally low-mileage machine for a 2016 model, averaging roughly 473 miles annually. The MOT history reveals a notable period of inactivity or very light use between April 2023 and April 2024, with the odometer advancing only 1,082 miles over that twelve-month stretch. Mileage accumulation picked up slightly in the subsequent year, jumping 1,756 miles between the April 2024 and April 2025 tests. While low mileage generally limits mechanical wear, prolonged stationary periods can degrade consumables like tyres and brake fluid. Given the sparse MOT record and the likelihood of long stationary periods, a physical inspection must focus on components that deteriorate with age rather than use. Check the tyre sidewalls for cracking or flat spots, as low annual mileage often means rubber perishes before the tread wears down. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and test the calipers for binding, since infrequent riding can cause pads to stick. Examine the battery condition and charging system output, along with the drive chain and sprockets for rust or seized links. Verify the fork seals and suspension bushes for dryness or weeping, which can occur when a machine sits unused for extended durations.
