Motorcycle brakes — 2.0% of failures
Motorcycle brakes issues account for 2.0% of MOT failures on 2007 Suzuki Gsf 1200 Sak6 models. Brake-related failures include worn brake pads, corroded brake discs, leaking brake lines, and faulty brake servos.

Motorcycle suspension — 0.5% of failures
Motorcycle suspension issues account for 0.5% of MOT failures on 2007 Suzuki Gsf 1200 Sak6 models. Suspension failures typically involve worn bushes, leaking shock absorbers, broken coil springs, and damaged suspension arms. These affect ride quality, tyre wear, and road holding. Typical repair costs: £200–500. Pre-MOT check: Look for uneven tyre wear, listen for clunking over bumps, and check if the car pulls to one side. A bouncy ride suggests worn shock absorbers. Visually inspect coil springs for cracks.
Motorcycle lamps and reflectors — 0.5% of failures
Motorcycle lamps and reflectors issues account for 0.5% of MOT failures on 2007 Suzuki Gsf 1200 Sak6 models.

Pre-MOT check: Walk around the car and check every light — headlights (dipped and main beam), side lights, tail lights, brake lights, indicators, hazard lights, reverse light, rear fog light, and number plate lights. Replace any blown bulbs before the test.
