Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the last rec
Prioritise verifying the current roadworthiness and MOT status, as the last recorded test was in 2023. You should check for a detailed service history to understand how the 51,694 miles have been managed, as this is higher than the typical usage for this model. Negotiate the price to account for the cost of a new MOT and the likely replacement of tyres and consumables.
Running costs for this 749cc petrol engine will include moderate fuel expenditure and insurance premiums that reflect the bike's performance category. Maintenance for a vehicle of this age typically involves more frequent attention to seals and rubber components. Annual costs will vary based on usage but will include mandatory tax and insurance.
Carefully inspect the front tyre, which was flagged as nearly worn out in the 2023 MOT. Based on aggregate data for the GSXR750, pay close attention to the brake pads and shock absorbers, as these are top reasons for MOT failure across the model range. Additionally, check that the headlamps are fully operational, as these are also common failure points.
This 1999 white Suzuki GSXR750 has a recorded mileage of 51,694 miles as of July 2023. The most recent MOT record shows a pass, although it included an advisory for a front tyre worn close to the legal limit. Given the date, the vehicle is now operating without a current MOT certificate.
The GSXR750 shows a respectable average MOT pass rate of 86.4% across 5,209 analysed vehicles.
