2006 Suzuki SV 650 SK6 0.6L Petrol · AE06 BUW

The Suzuki SV650 SK6 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 June 2025 at 27,328 miles passed with no defects recorded, and the prior annual test on 15 June 2024 at 26,762 miles also passed clean. The only blemish is a failed test on 25 May 2024 at 26,651 miles, where the record shows no defects listed, suggesting the failure may have been administrative or a retest followed eleven days later with a pass. No recurring mechanical or structural faults appear across the five-year history. At roughly twenty years old the machine shows 27,328 recorded miles, an average of about 1,366 miles per year. The MOT data confirms very light use: it covered only 1,060 miles between June 2022 and June 2023, then 1,456 miles to June 2024, and just 566 miles to the 2025 test. The sparse, clean record gives little evidence of neglect, though long standing periods implied by low mileage can allow corrosion or perished rubber components to develop unseen. A buyer should still inspect the bike in person for age-related issues the MOT does not capture. Check suspension linkage bearings, fork seals, and swingarm bushes for wear or stiffness from infrequent movement. Examine the exhaust system and frame for structural rust, particularly around welded joints and the sidestand mount. Verify brake caliper operation and disc condition, as binding from disuse is common on low-mileage machines. Confirm tyre sidewalls are free of cracking and that the chain and sprockets show no seizure. The history supports a well-kept example, but physical inspection remains essential given the bike's age and standing time.
