What Suzuki Gsx 1300 Rk8 failures look like
2,042 Suzuki Gsx 1300 Rk8 tests on record carry the manual reference DVSA attaches to each defect. The most frequent problems were with axles, wheels, tyres and suspension on 281 tests (13.8%), with brakes on 211 tests (10.3%) and with nuisance (emissions and noise) on 156 tests (7.6%). A test can fail on more than one thing, and an MOT can be failed on one defect while another is only advised, so these counts do not add up to the number of tests.
Narrowed down from the categories to the individual defects themselves, three come up on more than one test:
-
Tyre worn close to legal limit/worn on edge
MOT inspection manual reference 5.2.3, in axles, wheels, tyres and suspension
Recorded on 177 of the 2,042 tests: 21 failures and 156 advisories or minors.
-
Exhaust noisy
MOT inspection manual reference 8.1.1, in nuisance (emissions and noise)

Recorded on 91 of the 2,042 tests: 7 failures and 84 advisories or minors.
