2008 Suzuki GSF 1250 SA K8 1.3L Petrol · YP08 MXM

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean record in its three most recent inspections. The latest MOT test conducted in April 2025 at 27,347 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years have been addressed, and the motorcycle currently maintains a high standard that meets all statutory safety requirements without immediate remedial action. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,500 miles per year. The data shows a significant period of inactivity between April 2023 at 27,276 miles and April 2025 at 27,347 miles, where only 71 miles were covered over two years. While this low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the risk of degradation in rubber-based parts and fluid breakdown due to long periods of standing. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the exhaust system, as the tester flagged it for being noisy in both 2020 and 2021. Although the bike passed since then, the recurring nature of this fault suggests potential mounting bracket wear or baffle wear, which warrants a close check for leaks. Given the low mileage and long intervals between use, inspect the tyres for cracking tyres, perished brake fluid, and seized brake calipers, as these components often age faster than they wear through on low-use vehicles.
