Suzuki Dl 650 Al0 (2010)
2010 Suzuki Dl 650 Al0
CarHunch analysed 116 real MOT records for the 2010 Suzuki Dl 650 Al0. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This Suzuki DL 650 is a below-average performer in the MOT: its 70.3% first-time pass rate trails the UK average by nearly 10 percentage points, suggesting regular owners will face unexpected repairs. While dangerous defects affect only 13.8% of the cohort, the average of 0.72 failures per vehicle indicates structural reliability issues beyond minor wear.
The median mileage of 19,619 miles is relatively low for a 2010 bike, yet these machines are still accruing 3.1 advisories on average—pointing to ageing seals, cables, and wear items rather than catastrophic engine problems. Before buying one, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on brake condition, suspension health, and fuel system integrity, as these are the weak points showing up repeatedly in test results.
What to check before buying a 2010 Suzuki Dl 650 Al0
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
