Suzuki ST 90v (1986)
1986 Suzuki ST 90v
CarHunch is tracking 290 1986 Suzuki ST 90v vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
The 1986 Suzuki ST 90V presents an immediate red flag: zero first-time pass rate across 290 vehicles analysed, compared to the UK average of 80%, with petrol variants also showing 0% pass success. No dangerous defects are recorded in the dataset, but the complete absence of passes suggests these vehicles are either exceptionally worn, systematically failing on the same issue, or rarely presented for MOT in roadworthy condition.
With no mileage data available and zero recorded failures or advisories per vehicle (despite failing outright), this appears to be a dataset anomaly—possibly reflecting very few actual test records or vehicles that are mechanically non-viable. If you're genuinely considering one of these 38-year-old bikes, assume it will need substantial work to pass MOT and treat any example as a restoration project rather than a usable vehicle.
We have 290 1986 Suzuki ST 90v vehicles in our database, but the DVLA's digital MOT records for vehicles of this age don't include reliable pass/fail outcomes — detailed test statistics aren't available for this vintage.
What to check before buying a 1986 Suzuki ST 90v
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.
