2016 Suzuki SV 650 AL7 0.6L Petrol · GV66 AEP

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-28 at 13,344 miles confirmed it passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the last 12 months. Previous tests from 2024-08-20 (12,020 miles) and 2023-09-23 (11,984 miles) also showed no issues, suggesting consistent upkeep. However, a failed test on 2023-09-05 at the same mileage as the subsequent pass raises questions about the accuracy of the record or potential procedural errors. No defects were logged in either the failed or passed tests, which is unusual but does not indicate mechanical concerns. The mileage progression shows minimal usage, with the bike accumulating just 1,344 miles between 2022-06-27 (10,484 miles) and 2025-08-28 (13,344 miles). This low annual average of ~1,334 miles suggests infrequent use or prolonged storage, which can lead to dry joints, corrosion, or degraded fluids. The lack of defects in recent tests is reassuring, but the sparse data from 2022 to 2023—only one test in 15 months—limits insight into long-term wear patterns. A buyer should inspect the suspension system for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask hidden fatigue. Check brake components, including calipers and discs, for binding or corrosion, which might go undetected in static tests. Structural integrity should be verified, particularly around the frame and exhaust, as prolonged inactivity may exacerbate rust. The absence of advisories in recent records is positive, but the 2023-09-05 failure warrants clarification to confirm no underlying issues were overlooked.
