2008 Suzuki GSX650 0.6L Petrol · WD08 KBO

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, having passed its most recent inspection in November 2025 with 31,501 miles and no recorded defects. The maintenance trend shows improvement following a mechanical failure in late 2022, as the owner subsequently addressed specific hardware and safety issues. The clean sheet from the latest test suggests that the motorcycle is currently meeting all basic safety standards without immediate mechanical failures requiring attention. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,750 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between November 2022 and February 2024, where the bike covered only 1,277 miles over fifteen months. While this low mileage suggests less mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components, the long periods of standing can often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, perished seals, and internal fluid contamination, which are not always captured in a standard MOT test. A buyer should conduct a physical inspection of the front braking system, as the tester flagged a fluctuation in brake effort during the November 2022 tests. This can indicate warped discs or a sticking caliper piston which may have returned despite the passing grade. Additionally, the condition of the tyres is critical; the February 2024 record noted both were near the legal limit. Given the low mileage and age, the rubber compound is prone to dry rot or hardening regardless of remaining tread depth. Inspect the tyres for cracks in the sidewalls and ensure the handlebar end weight remains securely fastened after its previous failure.
