Motorcycle structure and attachments — 7.7% of failures
Motorcycle structure and attachments issues account for 7.7% of MOT failures on the Suzuki M109r. Motorcycle structure and attachments issues are a common cause of MOT failure. Regular inspection and maintenance of these components helps ensure your vehicle passes its MOT. Typical repair costs: £100–400. Pre-MOT check: Have this system checked during regular servicing. Look for warning signs like unusual noises, vibrations, or dashboard warning lights.
Identification of the vehicle — 5.1% of failures

The VIN must be permanently displayed and legible, and the registration plate must meet British Standard formatting. Typical repair costs: £10–50.

Motorcycle tyres — 5.1% of failures
Motorcycle tyres issues account for 5.1% of MOT failures on the Suzuki M109r. Tyre failures include tread depth below the legal minimum of 1.6mm, cuts, bulges, exposed cords, and incorrect tyre pressure. Tyres are one of the most common and easiest-to-prevent MOT failures.
