2006 Yamaha XP500 0.5L Petrol · NK56 AAZ

The 2026‑07‑14 MOT at 63,687 miles confirms the 2006 Yamaha XP500 remains roadworthy, the tester recording rear brake disc wear within limits and front disc pitting that does not seriously weaken the assembly. Overall the maintenance record shows a stable trend with no worsening defects. Mileage has risen steadily from 16,250 miles in May 2013 to the present, averaging roughly 3,200 miles per year. The most pronounced jumps occurred between 2013‑2014 (5,415 miles) and 2025‑2026 (approximately 4,800 miles each year), and no extended periods of inactivity are evident. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the front and rear brake discs for scoring or deep pitting and verify pad thickness against the minimum limit. The inspection should also include examining suspension bushes and coil springs for binding or corrosion, assessing tyre tread depth, looking for any structural rust around the wheel arches and chassis, and confirming that the rear brake pads are not nearing the wear threshold.
