What Suzuki Sv 650 Sk6 S failures look like

1,671 Suzuki Sv 650 Sk6 S tests on record carry the manual reference DVSA attaches to each defect. The most frequent problems were with axles, wheels, tyres and suspension on 337 tests (20.2%), with brakes on 319 tests (19.1%) and with nuisance (emissions and noise) on 201 tests (12.0%). A test can fail on more than one thing, and an MOT can be failed on one defect while another is only advised, so these counts do not add up to the number of tests.

Narrowed down from the categories to the individual defects themselves, three come up on more than one test:

  • Exhaust noisy

    MOT inspection manual reference 8.1.1, in nuisance (emissions and noise)
