Our Verdict
A strong candidate for enthusiasts looki
When purchasing a vintage motorcycle of this age, the MOT record is only one part of the picture. While the 2023 and 2024 tests show no defects, you should verify if there is a documented service history, as MOTs for low-mileage vehicles do not reflect mechanical upkeep between tests.
Focus on the electrical systems and the condition of the fuel system, which can be prone to issues on older carburetted bikes. Given the low mileage recorded, check for signs of 'age-related' wear, such as perished rubber components, dried-out seals, or corrosion on the exhaust and frame, which may not be captured in a standard MOT inspection.
Running costs for a 123cc Suzuki from 1974 are expected to be quite low due to the small engine capacity. Fuel economy should be high, making it an economical choice for light use.
Insurance for a classic vehicle can vary significantly based on your profile, but many specialist classic bike insurers offer competitive rates. Maintenance costs will likely revolve around specialist parts for older models, which can sometimes carry a premium compared to modern equivalents. Expect an estimated annual running cost in the lower hundreds, provided maintenance is kept to a minimum.
Based on the provided MOT history, there are no specific failure patterns to reference, as both recent tests passed without defects. However, for a 1974 model, you should manually inspect the tyres for age-related cracking and the chain for tension and lubrication.
Check the braking system thoroughly, as MOT tests focus on functionality but may not highlight gradual wear. Additionally, inspect the yellow paintwork and any chrome elements for signs of rust or deterioration, as these are common areas of concern for vehicles of this vintage.
This 1974 Suzuki RV125 is a classic 123cc petrol model presented in yellow. With very low recorded mileage on its recent MOT tests—just 30 miles in 2024 and 27 miles in 2023—it appears to be used for occasional trips rather than daily commuting. The MOT history is clean, with no recorded failures or advisories in the last two recorded tests.
There is no aggregate MOT reliability data available for the Suzuki RV125 to provide a statistical comparison.
