Our Verdict
Recommended for buyers seeking a low-mil
Given the very low mileage, you should verify the service history to ensure the bike has been maintained during periods of inactivity. Pay close attention to the date codes on the tyres; low-mileage vehicles often have tyres that are legally treaded but aged and hardened, which can affect grip.
Negotiate based on the need for a full service if the records are sparse. Check for any evidence of the previously noted 'bent brake lever' or 'loose drive chain' to ensure these were properly rectified rather than just temporarily patched for the MOT.
The 645cc engine is generally efficient for its class, offering a balance between performance and fuel economy. Insurance costs for the SV 650 typically fall into a mid-range bracket, making it accessible for many riders, while road tax is based on standard petrol engine rates for its year.
Annual maintenance costs are typically moderate, focusing on consumables like tyres, brake pads, and chain and sprocket kits. The estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing, is approximately £700-£1,000.
Focus your inspection on the exhaust system, as the vehicle failed in 2022 for being too noisy and had a minor leak recorded in 2023. Check for any aftermarket modifications or signs of corrosion that may have caused these issues.
Inspect the drive chain and sprockets for wear or tension issues, referencing the 2023 advisory for a loose chain. Additionally, check the brake lever and controls for any signs of previous impact or bending, as noted in the 2023 MOT record.
This 2011 white Suzuki SV 650 SL1 has recorded only 14,582 miles as of October 2025, which is very low for its age. The MOT history shows a period of minor issues between 2022 and 2023, including exhaust noise and a bent brake lever, but the vehicle passed its most recent test with no defects recorded.
Aggregate data is unavailable for this specific variant, but this individual vehicle has a consistent record of passing its MOTs since 2022.
