2017 Suzuki SV 650 AL7 0.6L Petrol · DG17 VTK

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test in April 2026 at 10,664 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, mirroring the trend of perfect scores over the previous five years. This stability suggests the motorcycle has been well-maintained between intervals and has not suffered from significant mechanical degradation or recurring structural issues. The usage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,185 miles per year. Data shows a notable gap between June 2020 at 2,706 miles and November 2021 at 5,290 miles, where the bike covered over 2,500 miles. Since 2024, the accumulation has slowed further, with only 351 miles recorded between the October tests. This low mileage indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it also suggests the vehicle may have spent long periods sitting stationary. While the MOT record shows no mechanical failures, a buyer must inspect the bike for risks associated with low-mileage storage. Physical inspection should focus on flat spotting on the tyres, perished rubber components, and seized brake calipers or fork seals which often occur from lack of use. Because the MOT does not check for fluid freshness or deep corrosion, verify the condition of the fuel system and ensure the brake fluid and engine oil have been replaced according to time to compensate for the age of the components.
