2000 Suzuki DRZ 0.4L Petrol · W866 UGY

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a clean record in its latest inspection. The most recent test in March 2026 at 13,756 miles passed with no defects recorded, following a minor administrative failure just one day prior due to a non-conforming registration plate. This indicates that while the owner is attentive to the MOT requirements, the core mechanical and safety components have remained within acceptable operating parameters over the last several testing cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 26-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 530 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-intensity usage, with for example, only 619 miles being covered between November 2024 and March 2026. While this low mileage reduces overall wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. There is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation that would suggest heavy-duty use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the suspension and braking systems, as these have been recurring points of concern. The history shows persistent issues with rear suspension bushes and shock absorbers dating back to 2017, with further play noted in 2021. Additionally, front wheel bearings were flagged for roughness and play in the 2017 and 2018 tests respectively. Given the low annual mileage, it is vital to verify that these bearings have not seized and that the brake discs have not suffered from surface corrosion, which is common in vehicles that are infrequently ridden.
