2010 Suzuki SV 650 SK9 0.6L Petrol · LR10 MDX

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent 2024-08-19 assessment at 17,214 miles. The 2021-12-07 failure at the same mileage did not list any defects, suggesting either a procedural error or a test that failed to identify issues. No recurring mechanical or structural faults are evident in the record, and the absence of advisories or critical failures in the past four years indicates consistent maintenance. The mileage of 17,214 miles over 16 years equates to an average of 1,076 miles annually, significantly below the UK average for motorcycles of this age. This low usage could imply infrequent operation or extended periods of inactivity, which may affect components like the fuel system, battery, and seals. The MOT history shows gaps of over 18 months between tests, with the 2020-04-29 test at 15,683 miles followed by no further records until 2021-12-13. Such intervals may limit visibility into potential wear patterns, particularly in consumables or corrosion-prone areas. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for aged bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask wear from static storage. The brake system, including calipers and discs, should be checked for binding or corrosion, as inactivity may lead to seized components. Structural integrity, particularly around the frame and swingarm, warrants scrutiny, as rust or fatigue cracks could develop unnoticed. The absence of recorded defects does not eliminate these risks, given the vehicle’s age and usage profile.
