2009 Suzuki AN 650 AK9 0.6L Petrol · LD09 VAF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the history reveals a pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive care. The most recent test in July 2022 at 31,774 miles passed with only a minor defect regarding the registration plate lamp alignment. This follows a period of significant neglect in early 2017 where the bike failed multiple tests consecutively. While the current status is compliant, the historical data suggests that mechanical components are only addressed once they reach failure limits. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,869 miles per year. There is a notable five-year gap between the February 2016 test at 29,697 miles and the July 2022 test at 31,774 miles. Covering only 677 miles in that indicates the vehicle likely sat stationary for long periods. Such usage patterns often lead to the degradation of rubber components, seized seals, and internal corrosion that is not reflected in the low odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system given the recurring issues noted in March 2017. The tester flagged binding front and rear roller brakes, scored discs, and pads below the minimum thickness threshold. Although these were reportedly rectified, the presence of excessive free play in the front wheel bearings during that same period requires a re-check to ensure the bearings were replaced rather than adjusted. Additionally, the tyres should be inspected for sidewall cracking and flat spotting, as low mileage often masks perished rubber despite sufficient remaining tread depth.
