2001 Yamaha FZS 600 0.6L Petrol · EO51 AKP

The vehicle presents as roadworthy following the most recent MOT pass on 15 July 2025 at 29,298 miles. That test came hours after a fail on the same date and mileage, yet the record shows no defects listed for either attempt. The maintenance trend across the three years of data is stable, with no mechanical advisories or worsening faults; the only anomaly is a repeated administrative-style fail immediately corrected by a pass, seen also on 2 July 2024 and 5 July 2024 at 25,952 miles. Born in 2001, this Yamaha FZS 600 has covered just 29,298 miles in roughly 25 years, an average of 1,172 miles per year. The odometer moved from 21,234 miles at the 2 August 2023 pass to 25,952 miles at the July 2024 tests, then to 29,298 by July 2025. Such low annual use implies long standing periods rather than high wear. The MOT history is sparse and clean aside from the two no-defect fails, suggesting the previous keeper kept basic consumables within limits but may have been lax with test presentation. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on age-related degradation invisible to the clean MOT lines. Standing time invites corrosion on structural frames, exhaust systems, and brake discs. The fork seals, suspension linkages, and tyre sidewalls demand close scrutiny for cracking or perishing rubber. The tester recorded no binding calipers or worn brake discs, but a 25-year-old machine with intermittent use often hides stale fluid and seized pivots. Verify the chain and sprocket wear, and confirm emissions compliance given the untouched record. The repeated same-day fail-pass cycles point to paperwork or identification issues rather than mechanical neglect, yet the lack of advisories offers no assurance against latent rust or degraded components. A pre-purchase check by a marque specialist remains prudent.
