2004 Suzuki SV650 0.6L Petrol · AE54 LKG

The Suzuki SV650 presents as roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass on 13 June 2025 at 44,568 miles, with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable across the three years of available history, showing clean passes once re-tests were completed. No advisories or mechanical faults appear in any entry, which indicates the machine has met minimum test standards without flagged wear to suspension, brakes, or structure. The recorded mileage sits at 44,568 against a 2004 build, averaging roughly 2,026 miles per year. The DVSA log shows 42,217 miles on 24 May 2023, rising to 43,736 by 14 June 2024 and 44,568 by June 2025. This reflects light annual use with no rapid accumulation. Two initial failures on 3 June 2024 at 43,713 miles and 13 June 2025 at 44,555 miles carry no listed defects, implying administrative or presentation issues at test rather than mechanical rejection. A buyer should still inspect the bike in person given its age and low use. Long standing periods common at this mileage invite tyre perishing, seized calipers, and corroded exhaust or frame junctions that a clean MOT will not always capture. The absence of advisories means the tester saw no immediate risk, but 22-year-old suspension bushes and brake discs warrant hands-on checks for binding or fatigue. The repeated fail-with-no-defect pattern suggests previous owners addressed paperwork promptly rather than neglecting upkeep. Given the sparse, clean record, a pre-purchase inspection of structural integrity and consumable condition remains sensible before commitment.
