2018 Suzuki DL 650 X AL7 0.6L Petrol · FY68 FLB

The most recent MOT on 7 June 2023 was a clean pass at 745 miles, with no recorded defects. The earlier test on 17 December 2021 also passed, but it listed a higher mileage of 1,062 miles, indicating an inconsistency in the recorded odometer reading. The MOT record shows no recurring faults; both tests were defect‑free, suggesting the vehicle has been mechanically sound during the periods covered. However, the drop in mileage between 2021 and 2023 is unusual and may point to odometer correction, data entry error, or a period of very low use. This makes the mileage trend ambiguous rather than clearly low‑wear. At eight years old, a mileage of roughly 93 miles per year is exceptionally low, which could mean the bike has spent long periods idle. Prolonged storage can lead to issues such as stale fuel, dried seals, and corrosion in the suspension or drivetrain, even if the MOT has not flagged them. Conversely, low use also reduces wear on consumables like brakes and tyres. Overall the condition trend appears stable—no defects have been recorded—but the mileage discrepancy and the very low annual mileage warrant a closer look for hidden age‑related wear. Key checks for a buyer: - Verify the odometer reading and request service records to explain the mileage drop.
