2008 YAMAHA YZF R6 080.6L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 2013-01-29 recorded a pass at 10,201 miles, with no defects noted. However, a prior failure on 2013-01-23—just six days earlier—revealed a single issue: rear tyre tread depth below the legal minimum of 1.0mm. This suggests a minor, fixable problem rather than a systemic mechanical fault. The two earlier MOTs in 2011 (at 5,757 and 5,811 miles) both passed with no defects, indicating a clean record for the first three years of the vehicle’s life. The pattern of MOT results shows no recurring mechanical issues. The sole defect was a tyre-related failure, which is typically a straightforward repair. There is no evidence of escalating problems or repeated failures that would signal worsening condition. The trend appears stable, with no indication of declining reliability or increasing risks. The vehicle’s mileage of 10,201 miles over 18 years equates to roughly 567 miles annually, which is low for its age. This could imply light use, infrequent riding, or prolonged periods of inactivity.
