Suzuki Gn250 (1992)
1992 Suzuki Gn250
CarHunch analysed 126 real MOT records for the 1992 Suzuki Gn250. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 1992 Suzuki GN250 passes its MOT just under the UK average at 78.6%, a modest result that reflects the age and condition of these 30-year-old machines; the 16.7% that have recorded dangerous defects is a notable concern if you're buying one without full service history. These bikes are running at a reasonable 23,400 miles median, but they're still accumulating an average of 1.71 failures and 4.2 advisories per test, suggesting that wear items and minor corrosion are routine issues. Before purchase, insist on a pre-buy inspection by a motorcycle mechanic and budget for brake fluid renewal, cable care, and checking the fuel system—this model's advisory pattern points to those as vulnerability areas.
What to check before buying a 1992 Suzuki Gn250
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
