2006 Suzuki SV 650 SK6 0.6L Petrol · OU06 DHY

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a remarkably consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 24 February 2024 at 33,453 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This sustained clean record across the last five annual tests suggests a stable maintenance trend where the mechanical and structural components have remained within tolerance parameters without the typical wear patterns seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,673 miles per year. Between February 2020 and April 2021, the vehicle covered only 800 miles, indicating long periods of storage or very minimal use. There was a notable increase in usage between February 2023 and February 2024, where the bike clocked 6,052 miles in a single year. While the low total mileage generally limits wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals of inactivity can often lead to age-related degradation rather than mileage-based wear. Because the MOT record shows no recurring mechanical failures, a physical inspection must focus on items associated with low-mileage storage. A buyer should check for perished rubber components, specifically brake lines, fork seals, and tyres, which can crack over time regardless of distance travelled. The brake discs should be examined for surface corrosion or pitting from the bike sitting stationary for periods. Additionally, the chain and sprockets should be checked for rust and tight links to ensure the low mileage has not masked neglect during the intervals of disuse.
