I'm buying a Suzuki bandit 2000 Reg MK2, the bike has had 5 owners and apparently has 13000 miles. I'm just wondering if the mileage could have been altered as 13000 miles is very low for a bike of its age and for the amount of owners its had. If the mileage can be altered is there anyway I can check this? |
https://www.gov.uk/check-mot-history - go on this site, enter reg' and check the mileage matches the bike. It's probably legit, the last two bikes I bought have been 2003 models and both had under 10k on.

-Collector box tends to rust and leaves a nice hole.
-Suspension and brakes aren't great from standard, so if they haven't been looked after they'll be terrible by now.
-The finish isn't good, check for rust and if you do buy it treat it with ACF50.
-Then check the usual; tyres, headstock bearings, wheel bearings, meat on pads, discs not warped, fork seals aren't leaking, chain and sprockets not too worn etc etc |

MOT History and HPI. Digital clocks are hard to tamper, but can be swapped, but there would be a DVLA or MOT record of a higher mileage if MOT'd or sold with more miles on it than it has now.
My 2002 bandit had 7600 miles on it when i bought it in december. Appears to have consistently done a a few hundred miles a year for the past few years. Has 9k on it now.
Bought by noobs as a first bike after DAS or as a workhorse commuter. ____________________ Bandit. does. everything. |
