2008 Suzuki GSF 1250 SA K8 GT 1.3L Petrol · VO58 FPV

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness condition following a period of neglect. The most recent MOT test conducted on 29 May 2026 at 22,936 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed. Since the failure in April 2020, the motorcycle has maintained a clean record across three consecutive tests, suggesting consistent recent upkeep. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,274 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between April 2020 and July 2022, where the vehicle covered only 144 miles over two years. This pattern suggests the bike sits stationary for long periods. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, stationary periods often lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown, which are not captured by mileage alone. A buyer must perform a thorough physical inspection of components sensitive to long-term storage. The 2020 failure at 21,121 miles highlighted worn rear brake pads, a rear tyre with exposed cord, and a loose drive chain. While these were rectified, the buyer should check the current chain for dry links or rust and inspect the tyres for age cracking despite deep tread. Given the age, examine the front fork seals for leaks and the brake discs for surface pitting, as these frequently suffer on low-mileage vehicles that are rarely used.
