2018 Suzuki Gsxs 750 Z Al8
CarHunch analysed 100 real MOT records for the 2018 Suzuki Gsxs 750 Z Al8. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2018 Suzuki GSX-S 750 is a solid performer on the MOT bench, posting an 84.9% first-time pass rate that beats the UK average of 80%, and only 8% of these bikes have ever picked up a dangerous defect—well within acceptable territory for a middleweight sports bike. The low failure count of 0.45 per vehicle shows these machines are mechanically straightforward.
With a median mileage of just 6,568 miles for a six-year-old bike, most examples are genuinely lightly used, though average mileage sits at 8,473 miles, suggesting some have seen more road time. The 1.6 advisories per vehicle are routine maintenance markers rather than structural concerns—if you're buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection to confirm service history and suspension condition, which typically racks up minor advisories on these bikes.
What to check before buying a 2018 Suzuki Gsxs 750 Z Al8
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.
