2020 Suzuki SV 650 AM0 0.6L Petrol · PN20 BND

This Suzuki SV650 shows a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two years, with all recent MOT tests passing without defects. The most recent test on 2025-07-22 confirms the vehicle remains compliant, though the duplicate entry for 2025-06-05—one marked as failed despite no recorded defects—suggests a possible administrative error rather than a mechanical issue. No advisories or recurring faults appear in the official record, indicating the tester did not identify any hidden concerns during inspections at 6,295, 8,287, or 10,376 miles. The absence of defects across multiple tests implies basic components like brakes, suspension, and emissions systems have been maintained at a functional level. The recorded mileage of 10,639 miles over six years—approximately 1,773 miles annually—is unusually low for a motorcycle of this age, suggesting either minimal riding or prolonged storage. The largest gap between tests occurs between 2023-06-07 (6,295 miles) and 2024-05-21 (8,287 miles), a span of nearly a year with only 2,000 miles accumulated. This pattern could indicate periods of inactivity, which may have allowed for minor corrosion or component degradation despite the lack of MOT failures. Buyers should verify whether the motorcycle was stored with protective measures, as prolonged idling can affect battery health, fuel stability, and rubber components like seals and grips. Given the clean MOT history, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on wear items that aren’t routinely tested but are critical at low mileage. Check the brake pads and discs for uneven wear or glazing, as binding calipers or stiff operation might not have been detected during standard MOT checks. Inspect suspension bushes and coil springs for cracks or excessive play, particularly around the rear swingarm and fork seals, which can degrade even with minimal use. Corrosion should be assessed under the fuel tank, frame rails, and exhaust system, especially if the motorcycle was stored outdoors. Finally, verify the battery condition—low mileage often correlates with a discharged or sulfated battery, which isn’t covered by MOT testing.
