2021 Suzuki SV 650 AM1 0.6L Petrol · MK21 AYN

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance history shows a stable trend of recurring mechanical defects that remain unaddressed. The most recent test in June 2026 at 5,870 miles passed despite the same three advisories noted in the previous 2025 inspection. While the bike meets minimum legal standards, the persistence of these specific faults across multiple testing cycles suggests a reactive approach to maintenance rather than proactive repair of identified hardware issues. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a five-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,174 miles per year. Between the 2025 test at 5,525 miles and the 2026 test at 5,870 miles, the vehicle covered only 345 miles. This low usage indicates the bike likely spends long periods stationary, which can lead to flat spotting on tyres, degradation of rubber seals, and internal corrosion within fluid systems despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the exhaust system, as the noisy exhaust advisory has persisted through all three recorded entries. This likely indicates a loose bracket, a damaged baffle, or a developing leak that requires attention to prevent further damage. The tester consistently flagged a short front brake lever and a bent rear brake pedal. While these are functional, the physical damage suggests a past fall or impact, which should be checked for structural integrity to ensure proper ergonomic operation and to prevent fatigue in the metal components.
