2012 Suzuki Gsxr 1000 L2 1.0L Petrol · YP12 AFA

The vehicle currently presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 1 September 2025 at 9,746 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the latest two tests in 2024 and 2025 recorded no defects whatsoever. This follows a period of minor issues in previous years, suggesting that the mechanical condition has reached a consistent level of upkeep. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2012 model, averaging fewer than 700 miles per year. The data shows significant periods of inactivity, such as the two-year gap between the May 2020 test and the April 2022 test. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, such long intervals of standing can lead to secondary issues like perished rubber components or seized brake calipers. The recorded mileage has increased very slowly, moving from 5,531 miles in 2017 to just 9,746 miles in 2025. Historical records indicate occasional neglect regarding consumable items. The tester flagged a front tyre worn close to the legal limit in March 2016 and a rear tyre with similar wear in May 2020. An advisory for a noisy exhaust in November 2022 at 9,569 miles also suggests potential attention was required for the exhaust system or mounting points. Although the most recent tests show no defects, the history of tyre wear suggests the previous owner may have operated the vehicle on the edge of legal limits. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres and braking system to ensure they are not aged or cracking due to the low usage pattern. Given the noisy exhaust advisory from 2022, checking the exhaust manifold, headers, and mounting brackets for corrosion or leaks is advisable. It is also prudent to inspect all rubber seals, hoses, and suspension bushes for signs of perishing, which often occurs when a vehicle remains stationary for extended periods.
