YAMAHA FZ62006 · 0.6L PETROL

The vehicle remains technically roadworthy based on the last recorded test, though the history shows a clear trend of brake-related wear. The April 2019 test at 48,916 miles resulted in no defects, suggesting a period of stability following several years of issues. However, because no MOT has been recorded for over seven years, the current roadworthiness of the motorcycle cannot be verified through official records alone. A physical inspection is mandatory to determine if mechanical degradation has occurred during this extended period of inactivity. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,446 miles per year. Between April 2015 and April 2019, the bike covered 19,965 miles, indicating a consistent but light usage pattern of roughly 5,000 miles annually. This low mileage suggests that the engine and drivetrain components have experienced less stress than a high-mileage example, though long periods of standing associated with such low mileage can lead to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and fuel chemistry. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the record flags recurring issues in this area between 2016 and 2018. The tester noted front pads near minimum limits in 2016, binding pads in 2017, and scored rear discs in 2018. These faults indicate a history of neglected caliper maintenance or fluid contamination. Given the significant gap since the last MOT, the inspector should also check for seized calipers, perished fork seals, and tyre corrosion, which frequently affect vehicles that sit stationary for long durations.
