2001 Suzuki GSX750 0.7L Petrol · Y388 BAF

This 2001 Suzuki GSX750 holds a current and valid MOT certificate issued on 18 July 2026 at 21,561 miles, maintaining an unbroken history of annual test passes that points to an overall stable maintenance trend. The latest inspection highlights minor mechanical items requiring attention rather than major structural failures, including a noisy exhaust, light oil misting on both front shock absorbers, and slightly loose front brake hoses. These advisory notes represent typical consumable wear and adjustment requirements for a quarter-century-old motorcycle rather than severe structural decay. The machine has covered just 21,561 miles across its twenty-five-year lifespan, averaging roughly 862 miles per year, which confirms extremely light or intermittent use by previous keepers. Gaps in the testing cadence are visible, such as the extended period between February 2018 and May 2024 where mileage crept from 20,069 to 20,304 miles, indicating the motorcycle spent multiple consecutive years in storage or off the road. Long periods of inactivity explain recurring minor mechanical symptoms like damp fork seals, but the clean pass rate demonstrates that past owners consistently rectified faults when presented for test. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension dampers, as light oil misting noted in both the May 2024 test at 20,304 miles and the July 2026 test at 21,561 miles suggests the fork seals are weeping and will soon demand a professional rebuild. The tester also flagged slightly loose front brake hoses during the most recent July 2026 examination, meaning the hydraulic lines and mounting hardware need immediate securing or replacement alongside an investigation into the non-standard, noisy exhaust system. Verifying the condition of the drive chain, rubber brake lines, and steering head bearings will ensure safe operation given the machine's advanced age and prolonged storage periods.
