2009 Suzuki SFV 650 K9 0.6L Petrol · WH05 SGA

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent inspection conducted on 27 March 2026 at 6,186 miles resulted in no recorded defects. This trend across the last five years suggests that the primary mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable tolerances without triggering failures or even advisories during the official testing process. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 364 miles per year. Between July 2021 and July 2024, the vehicle covered only 12 miles, indicating long periods of stationary or minimal use. The increase of 71 miles between the July 2024 and March 2026 tests shows a very slight uptick in activity, but the figure remains far below the national average. While this reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, it introduces risks associated with age-related degradation of stationary parts. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components affected by age rather than mechanical friction. Low mileage often leads to dry-rotting in tyres, seized brake calipers, and perished rubber seals. The inspector should check the fork seals for leaks, the condition of the brake lines for cracking, and the state of the fuel for potential degradation. Because the bike has sat for long intervals, verifying the structural integrity of the frame for surface-seated corrosion is essential, as the MOT test does not always detect internal rust unless it is visible.
