2018 Suzuki DL 650 AL7 0.6L Petrol · AF18 FOA

The Suzuki DL650 AL7 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 4 September 2025 at 21,356 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean run of examinations. Across the available history the machine shows no advisories or mechanical faults, indicating the previous keeper maintained it to a passable standard without deferred consumable neglect. The recorded mileage sits low for an eight-year-old 2018 machine, totalling 21,356 miles or roughly 2,670 miles per year. From the 14 June 2023 test at 19,690 miles, the bike reached 20,182 miles by 12 September 2023, then 20,962 miles by 27 August 2024, and 21,356 miles by 4 September 2025. The annual accumulation stays under 800 miles, pointing to light use or extended standing periods rather than active daily riding. The clean record across these dates gives no evidence of rapid wear cycles or skipped intervals. A buyer should still carry out a physical inspection focused on components prone to deterioration under low-use storage. Long stationary spells can harden suspension bushes, promote corrosion on frame and exhaust junctions, and cause brake caliper binding or disc pitting despite a clean MOT. The 12 September 2023 entry shows both a fail and pass logged at identical mileage with no defects cited, likely an administrative retest rather than a genuine fault, but the duplication warrants confirmation of the V5C and DVSA status. Given the absence of flagged wear on tyres, chain, sprockets, or steering head bearings in the records, the priority is verifying present condition rather than rectifying known defects. Check tyre sidewall cracking from age, chain tension and lubrication, and fork seal weeping before purchase. The history implies careful but infrequent use; a pre-sale visual and road test remains the only way to confirm the bike matches its paperwork.
