YAMAHA YZFR1998 · 0.6L Petrol

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a remarkably stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT conducted on 30 May 2025 at 34,544 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the motorcycle remains in a condition-compliant state. Following a single failure in May 2023, the bike has undergone two consecutive clean tests without advisories, suggesting the current owner is proactive in addressing mechanical requirements before they escalate. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 28-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,234 miles per year. Between April 2022 at 27,404 miles and May 2025 at 34,544 miles, the vehicle covered only 7,140 miles over three years. This low usage rate typically minimizes wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and brake assemblies. However, the low mileage often necessitates a closer look at age-related degradation caused by long periods of inactivity. The consistent intervals between annual tests show a regular usage pattern rather than sporadic bursts of activity. Despite the clean electronic record, a physical inspection must focus on the effects of low-mileage age on rubber and fluid components. A buyer should check for perished fork seals, cracked brake hoses, and degraded tyres, which can occur regardless of distance traveled. Given the vehicle's age, inspecting the structural integrity of the frame for hidden corrosion is vital, as the MOT test only checks for significant structural weakness. Since the record shows no previous advisories for suspension bushes or leaks, the mechanical state appears to be well-preserved, provided the bike has been serviced regularly according to manufacturer intervals.
