2014 Suzuki SV 0.6L Petrol · WN64 SSV

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a successful test on 8 June 2026 at 11,828 miles. The maintenance trend shows signs of recent mechanical attention following a failure just ten days prior on 29 May 2026. That failure identified an excessively tight drive chain and a worn rear drive chain sprocket. The subsequent pass suggests these drivetrain components have been addressed, moving the vehicle from a state of mechanical non-compliance back to a roadworthy condition. The mileage profile indicates exceptionally low usage for a 2014 model, averaging fewer than 1,000 miles per year. The record shows a steady, albeit slow, accumulation of distance, moving from 6,511 miles in 2019 to 11,828 miles in 2026. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals between tests and the very low annual distance suggest the vehicle may spend significant periods stationary. This pattern can sometimes lead to secondary issues such as tyre flat-spotting or fluid degradation, though the MOT record does not explicitly flag these. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on the drive system to ensure the recent repairs were completed to a high standard. Given the May 2026 failure, the tension and condition of the drive chain and the integrity of the sprockets are the primary technical concerns. The history also shows intermittent issues with consumables, such as the front tyre being near the legal limit in June 2023 and a rear tyre advisory in April 2018. The 2021 test at 11,129 miles noted a slight fluctuation in brake effort at the front, which may indicate minor issues with the braking system or disc surface. Although this was passed, a manual check of the brake pads, discs, and calipers is advisable to ensure no binding or uneven wear has developed during periods of inactivity. Overall, the mechanical history is relatively clean, provided the recent drivetrain repairs are verified.
