2005 Suzuki SV1000 1.0L Petrol · SN55 DYH

The Suzuki SV1000 presents as roadworthy following the April 2026 MOT test at 14,930 miles, where the tester recorded no defects. The maintenance trend reads as stable, with the most recent examination clearing all required checks after a sixteen-year gap since the previous test. No recurring mechanical faults appear across the available history. The recorded mileage shows exceptionally light use for a 2005 machine. The May 2009 pass at 9,796 miles and the May 2010 tests at 11,799 miles indicate roughly 2,000 miles of running in that period. The next recorded test arrives in April 2026 at 14,930 miles, meaning only about 3,100 miles accumulated across sixteen years, an average near 190 miles per annum. The DVSA data is sparse, with just three test events on file, but each clean pass aside from the single 2010 failure suggests no sustained neglect. The May 2010 failure at 11,799 miles cited a non-functioning horn and a missing rear reflector, both minor roadworthiness items rather than structural or mechanical risks. The owner corrected these the same day for the pass, implying prompt basic compliance. No advisories for suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or emissions were ever raised. A buyer should still verify in person that long dormancy has not induced perished seals, flat-spotted tyres, or seized calipers, as standing time invites such issues absent from MOT records. Inspect the chain, fork stanchions, and frame for rust given the age. The clean history supports a sound purchase, but physical checks remain essential on a low-mileage twenty-one-year-old machine.
