YAMAHA R62002 · 0.6L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent March 2026 test at 24,339 miles. Despite a recorded failure in August 2025 at 24,335 miles, the subsequent re-test showed no defects or advisories. This suggests that the 2025 failure was likely due to a rectifyable item that was promptly addressed, rather than a pattern of worsening mechanical or structural decline. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,000 miles per annum. Between June 2022 and March 2026, the bike covered only 799 miles, indicating long periods of static storage or very light seasonal use. This low usage frequency means that mechanical wear on the drivetrain, engine internals, and braking system should be minimal. While low mileage often implies better preservation, it also increases the risk of degradation in rubber-based components and fluid chemistry, which occur over time regardless of distance traveled. A buyer must prioritise a physical inspection of components susceptible to age-related failure rather than mileage-related wear. Focus on checking for perished coolant hoses, cracked sidewalls, and degraded brake lines that often fail when a vehicle sits stationary. Inspect the frame for surface corrosion and check the suspension fork seals for leaks caused by a lack of regular movement. Given the low mileage, verify that the tyres have sufficient age and that the brake calipers have not seized during long periods of inactivity.
