2008 Yamaha FZ6 Fazer S2 0.6L Petrol · ND08 PNX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 33,012 miles passed, it followed a significant failure just two days prior. That failure highlighted multiple defects including a bent clutch lever, a missing rear indicator, a registration plate lamp, and an insecure fuel tank. The trend suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical and safety issues when they directly threaten an MOT pass, leading to intermittent periods of neglect followed by pre-emptive repairs. At 33,012 miles over 18 years, this Yamaha FZ6 has seen exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 1,800 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between September 2024 and September 2025, where the bike covered only 4,043 miles. Such low use suggests the vehicle likely spends long periods stationary, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and fluid contamination despite the low odometer reading. The noisy exhaust noted in both 2023 and 2024 indicates a persistent issue with the manifold or exhaust mountry that remained unaddressed for several years. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and fuel system. The 2023 failure for a serious fluid leak on the nearside front shock absorber indicates that the seals are prone to failure; check for current signs of weeping on the fork legs. The previous report of contaminated front brake pads in 2023 suggests a possible leak from the caliper or master cylinder which requires close monitoring to ensure braking integrity. Furthermore, because the fuel tank was flagged as insecure twice, the mounting bolts and frame brackets should be inspected for corrosion or fatigue to ensure the tank remains firmly fastened during operation.
