2010 Suzuki Gz125
CarHunch analysed 131 real MOT records for the 2010 Suzuki Gz125. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2010 Suzuki GZ125 sits right at the UK average with a 79% first-time pass rate, but the dangerous defect rate of 34.4% is a serious red flag—more than one in three have shown safety-critical issues at some point, well above what you'd expect. This is a bike that needs careful pre-purchase inspection and ongoing maintenance discipline.
These machines are running light for their age at a median of 8,582 miles, which is encouraging, but they're averaging 2.06 failures and 6.6 advisories per test, suggesting wear-related problems are common even on lower-mileage examples. Before committing, have a trusted mechanic scrutinise the brakes, lights, and chassis condition—this model's safety record demands it.
What to check before buying a 2010 Suzuki Gz125
