1995 YAMAHA FZR6000.6L PETROL

The most recent MOT on 2020-07-07 recorded the vehicle as PASSED with a note that rear brake pads were close to the minimum limit. This aligns with earlier findings from 2018-06-26 and 2016-07-01, where similar brake pad warnings were logged. The recurring issue suggests a consistent pattern of brake wear, potentially indicating insufficient maintenance or prolonged light use. The 2016-06-08 MOT revealed a more severe failure, including a missing rear reflector, under-tread tyres, a leaking front shock absorber, and oil-contaminated brake pads. These issues were not repeated in subsequent tests, but the persistence of brake pad warnings through 2020 implies unresolved underlying concerns. The trend shows no clear improvement, though the severity of defects has not escalated in later tests. The vehicle’s low mileage of 13,877 miles over 31 years equates to roughly 448 miles per year. This suggests infrequent use or long periods of inactivity, which can lead to component degradation from lack of operation rather than wear. While low mileage might imply less mechanical stress, it also raises concerns about potential corrosion, fluid stagnation, or seals drying out. The 2014 MOT showed no defects, but this was over 10 years ago.
