2017 Suzuki DL 650 X AL7 0.6L Petrol · AV17 OVD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a clean record across its most recent inspections. The latest test on June 3, 2025 at 9,205 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating the motorcycle remains in a good mechanical state. This follows a successful pass in May 2024, suggesting that the owner has maintained the bike to a standard that prevents recurring failures during the testing process. The usage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap between the November 2021 test at 9,673 miles and the April 2024 test at 10,385 miles, where the vehicle covered fewer than 700 miles in over two years. The spike in mileage between April 2024 and May 2024 indicates a short period of more active use, but the overall low mileage suggests the bike has sat for long periods, which can impact component wear on the drivetrain and seals. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on risks associated with long-term storage rather than mechanical wear. Low mileage often leads to rubber degradation, so check the tyres for sidewall cracking and the fork seals for signs of leaking. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, as lack of use prevents the removal of oxidation. While the MOT record shows no structural or suspension issues, verify the chain and sprocket condition for rust to ensure they have not seized during the periods of inactivity.
