2015 Yamaha MT 0.8L Petrol · K27 WMC

This Yamaha MT-05 has maintained a consistently clean MOT history across five consecutive tests, all passing without any recorded defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on March 11, 2026, confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, with no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or safety-critical issues. The absence of advisories or minor faults in any of the tests suggests the vehicle has been subjected to regular, if not rigorous, maintenance—though this cannot be confirmed without service records. The recorded mileage of 14,661 miles over approximately 11 years equates to an exceptionally low annual average of around 1,333 miles. This pattern is unusual for a sportbike of this age, as such low mileage often indicates prolonged periods of inactivity or storage. The mileage increments between tests are consistent, with roughly 2,872 miles accumulated between each annual MOT, suggesting the vehicle has not been ridden frequently. While low mileage typically correlates with reduced wear on high-stress components like suspension bushes, brake calipers, or drivetrain seals, it also raises questions about potential neglect in other areas, such as battery health, fuel system stagnation, or tyre degradation from prolonged static loading. Given the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of consumable components that are not comprehensively tested under MOT regulations. Tyres, despite no recorded defects, may exhibit uneven wear or excessive tread depth loss due to infrequent use; verify the remaining tread depth and check for cracks or dry rot. The battery, if the bike has been stored for extended periods, could be discharged or degraded—test voltage and load capacity. Inspect the suspension for perished seals or fluid leaks, particularly in the rear monoshock, as low mileage does not preclude internal wear from age. Finally, examine the frame and subframe for signs of corrosion or structural fatigue, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate rust development in high-moisture environments. The lack of MOT advisories does not preclude these areas from requiring attention.
