2018 Suzuki SV 650 AL8 0.6L Petrol · EX18 AJU

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 27 January 2026 at 9,007 miles. While it initially failed on that same day due to the front headlamp aim being too high, the defect was rectified immediately. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, as the record shows no recurring mechanical failures, structural corrosion, or escalating advisories over the last five years of testing history. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old Suzuki SV 650, aververaging approximately 1,126 miles per year. There is a notable gap between the August 2023 and April 2025 tests, where the bike covered only 2,082 miles. This low usage suggests the motorcycle likely spends long periods stationary, which can lead to issues such as flat spots on tyres, seized calipers, or degraded fluids that are not captured by a standard MOT inspection. A buyer should pay close attention to the braking system, as the record shows rear brake pads were approaching the minimum limit in both May 2022 at 6,179 miles and August 2023 at 6,426 miles. Despite the low mileage, these recurring flags indicate the owner may have neglected consumable replacements until they became critical. Inspect the rear discs for pitting or uneven wear caused by long periods of inactivity. Given the low annual mileage, verify the condition of the chain and sprockets to ensure they have not suffered from surface rust from lack of use.
