2017 Suzuki DL 650 X AL7 0.6L Petrol · FY67 ACV

The Suzuki DL650X presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 20 June 2025 at 18,743 miles showing no defects. The prior test three days earlier on 17 June 2025 at the same mileage recorded a fail with no defects listed, a pattern consistent with an administrative or presentation issue at the testing station rather than a mechanical fault. Across the five recorded tests from September 2022 to June 2025, the machine cleared every examination without advisories on brakes, suspension, exhaust emissions, or structural integrity. At roughly nine years old the bike shows 18,743 miles, an average of about 2,083 miles per year. The record reveals a long initial layup: only 6,822 miles by 27 September 2022, then a jump to 13,447 miles by 14 June 2023 and 13,814 miles by 21 June 2024, before holding near-static at 18,743 miles across the 2025 tests. Such low overall mileage with a clustered 2022 to 2023 rise suggests extended standing early in life followed by moderate use, then a recent plateau. The clean test history gives no evidence of skipped consumable replacement or deferred structural care. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of items the MOT does not deeply probe. Extended periods stationary risk degraded tyre sidewalls, hardened suspension bushes, and corroded brake calipers despite the absence of advisories. Check the chain and sprocket wear, fork seal condition, and frame coating for early rust given the low but uneven mileage. The uneventful record implies a careful keeper, yet the 17 June 2025 fail with zero defects warrants confirmation that the V5C and DVSA entries reflect a genuine retest rather than a clerical anomaly.
