YAMAHA XT6001989 · 0.6L PETROL

The vehicle presents a questionable roadworthiness profile due to a lack of recent testing data spanning nearly nine years. While the last recorded test in September 2017 at 2,683 miles showed a pass, it followed a critical safety failure involving missing wheel spindle securing nut locking devices and faulty stop lamps. The maintenance trend appears stagnant rather than proactive, and the absence of any entries until the current date of June 2026 means the MOT is long expired and the mechanical state of the motorcycle remains unverified for a decade. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 37-year-old machine, averaging approximately 73 miles per year. However, the data reveals significant gaps in usage, specifically the six-year interval between the 2011 test and the 2017 test, during which the bike covered only 600 miles. This suggests the vehicle has spent long periods in storage, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, perishation of fluids, and internal corrosion of fuel systems and seals regardless of the low odometer reading. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on recurring mechanical issues identified in the history. The rear lower suspension bush has been flagged for free play in both 2011 and 2017, indicating persistent wear in the pivot points. The front brake discs showed signs of run out, and the 2011 report noted a home-made caliper carrier bracket and clumping forks, which raise concerns regarding bespoke repairs and structural integrity. Given the 2010 failure for a leaking fuel pipe and the long periods of immobility, the entire fuel system and braking lines must be checked for leaks, dry-rotted hoses, and seized calipers before any road use.
