2018 Suzuki SV 650 AL7 0.6L Petrol · KF18 DFY

This Suzuki SV 650 is in an excellent state of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT on 7 March 2026 at 12,845 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to May 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a condition that exceeds the minimum legal requirements for road use. The mileage is exceptionally low for an eight year old motorcycle, averaging roughly 1,606 miles per year. The distance covered between the August 2023 test at 10,461 miles and the January 2025 test at 11,209 miles was only 748 miles over approximately 17 months. Such low usage suggests the bike has spent significant periods standing, which is a more critical factor for this specific vehicle than mechanical wear from road use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Check for perished tyres or flat spots caused by long-term storage, and inspect the brake fluid for moisture contamination. The low mileage suggests the original brake pads and discs may still be fitted, so check for surface corrosion or pitting on the discs. Verify the condition of the battery and ensure the fuel system has not suffered from stagnation. While the MOT history shows no structural issues or suspension failures, the lack of wear-and-tear defects across four tests suggests a light-use history. Confirm that the chain has been lubricated and tensioned regularly, as inactivity can lead to premature seizing of the links.
