2009 Suzuki DL650 0.6L Petrol · WG09 VPD

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, following a clean pass on July 4, 2025 at 13,514 miles. This result indicates an improving trend compared to previous years where the motorcycle failed to meet testing standards. The most recent inspection recorded no defects or advisories, suggesting that any previously identified mechanical issues have been addressed and the bike is currently operating within the required safety parameters. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 795 miles per year. The data shows a significant period of inactivity between June 2022 and June 2023, where the bike covered only 1,289 miles in over fourteen months. Between the July 2023 and July 2025 tests, the vehicle recorded just 71 miles over two years. This low usage suggests the motorcycle has spent stationary for long periods, which often leads to degradation of rubber-based components and fluids rather than mechanical wear and tear from mileage. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components affected by long-term storage despite the low mileage. Check for dry rot or cracking in the tyres, perished seals, and degraded fuel lines, as these perish with age rather than distance. The failures in June 2022 and July 2023 indicate that the bike required intervention to pass, so a close look at the brake calipers for seized pistons and the fork seals for leaks is essential. Additionally, inspect the frame for structural corrosion to ensure that the low-use history has not masked environmental damage to the chassis.
