2003 SUZUKI SV10001.0L PETROL

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 29 April 2026 at 28,613 miles returned no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the motorcycle has been kept in a condition that meets all legal requirements without the recurring mechanical or structural failures typically seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twenty-three-year machine, averaging approximately 1,244 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between August 2018 and June 2022, during which the bike covered only 1,649 miles over four years. However, usage has increased recently, with 5,481 miles accounted for between the June 2022 test and the April 2026 test. This pattern suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for long periods but is currently being used regularly, which is generally beneficial for preventing fluid degradation and mechanical seizing. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must perform a physical inspection for risks associated with low-mileage storage. You should check for perished rubber components, specifically dry tyres, cracked brake hoses, and perished fork seals that degrade through age rather than wear. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting, which often occurs when a bike sits unused for months. Additionally, verify the frame for signs of deep-seated rust, as the MOT only checks for structural integrity that compromises immediate safety, not the long-term cosmetic oxidation of the metal.
