2009 Suzuki GSX 650 FK8 0.7L Petrol · YY09 EFK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 30 June 2025 at 16,910 miles, which passed with no defects or advisories. This consistency indicates that the mechanical and structural components remained within operational parameters during the final inspection. The lack of recurring failures across the last five tests suggests the motorcycle has not suffered from significant mechanical degradation or neglect. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old machine, averaging approximately 995 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage data between March 2024 at 8,191 miles and June 2025 at 16,910 miles, where over 8,700 miles were covered in just over fourteen months. Conversely, the period between 2018 and 2020 saw only 66 miles of travel. This pattern suggests the bike has likely spent long periods in storage or saw only seasonal use rather than consistent daily commuting. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on risks associated with low-mileage, stationary vehicles. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion, the tester should check for dry-rotted tyre sidewalls and perished rubber seals that occur due to age rather than distance. The 2020 defect advisory regarding a shortened clutch lever is a minor adjustment, but a thorough check of the cables for seizing is necessary. Given the long intervals of inactivity, verifying brake fluid for moisture contamination and inspecting fork seals for weeping is vital to ensure the system has not seized during periods of standing.
