2009 Suzuki AN650 0.6L Petrol · FP09 VWM

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a successful test in November 2025 at 3,724 miles. While the overall maintenance trend appears stable with multiple consecutive passes, the failure in October 2025 at 3,719 miles indicates a specific mechanical lapse. The tester flagged an excessively binding front brake, which was rectified prior to the retest just twelve days later, suggesting the owner addressed the immediate fault promptly. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 219 miles per year. Between October 2022 and October 2024, the vehicle covered only 641 miles, indicating very infrequent use or long periods of storage. This low usage rate reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but it often introduces risks associated with stagnation, such as fluid degradation, perished seals, and corrosion on exposed surfaces. A buyer must conduct a thorough in-person inspection of the braking system to ensure the binding front caliper was not a symptom of deeper hydraulic issues or corroded pistons. Given the low mileage, the inspection should also check for flat spots on tyres and cracking in rubber hoses, which occur from age rather than distance. Verify the structural integrity of the frame for surface rust, as long-term stationary vehicles can suffer from moisture retention in areas that records do not capture.
