2006 Suzuki SV1000 1.0L Petrol · SY06 AWO

The 2006 Suzuki SV1000 is currently roadworthy. The latest MOT on 6 March 2026 at 12 421 miles passed with no defects, and the preceding tests in March 2025 and January 2024 also recorded no faults. The record shows a stable maintenance trend with no evidence of emerging problems. Mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age. From 11 353 miles in January 2024 to 12 163 miles in March 2025, only 810 miles were logged over 13 months. The next year added just 258 miles, bringing the total to 12 421 miles in March 2026. This steady, minimal usage suggests either light daily use or long periods of storage, but it also means that many wear‑prone components may still be in good condition. When viewing the bike in person, a buyer should verify the condition of consumables that are likely to have been used despite the low mileage: tyres for tread depth and sidewall integrity, wiper blades, and the battery for charge retention. Inspect the braking system – discs, pads, and calipers – for wear or corrosion, even though the MOT recorded none. The suspension should be checked for bushings and shocks, looking for leaks or stiffness. Steering components, the exhaust system, and the frame should be examined for rust or damage. Finally, confirm that engine oil, coolant, and transmission fluid are at appropriate levels and in clean condition. No recurring faults appear in the record, but a thorough visual and functional check will confirm that the vehicle remains in the good mechanical state suggested by its MOT history.
