2009 Suzuki VLR1800 TK8 1.8L Petrol · TX02 GAZ

The vehicle maintains a high level of roadworthiness with a consistently stable maintenance record. The most recent test conducted on 02 August 2025 at 16,481 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This reflects a clean history across the last five inspections, suggesting the mechanical and structural components have remained in good working order without the typical degradation patterns seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,000 miles per year. Between June 2020 and June 2021, the vehicle covered only 466 miles, indicating long periods of stationary or minimal use. A more recent increase in usage occurred between April 2023 and April 2024, where the odometer clocked 1,264 miles in twelve-month period. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension, it also raises the risk of component failure due to age rather than use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the risks associated with long-term storage rather than mechanical wear-and-tear. It is essential to check for dry rot in the tyres, perished rubber hoses, and seized brake calipers which often result from lack of movement. Inspect the frame for surface corrosion in hidden areas and ensure the fuel system and fork fork seals remain functional despite the low mileage. Since the MOT record shows no recurring structural faults, the primary integrity appears sound, but the age of rubber-based components remains the primary concern.
