2001 Yamaha YZF600 0.6L Petrol · Y851 CCG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, the most recent MOT on 15 July 2026 recorded 36,083 miles and passed with no defects. The maintenance trend is stable, the only ongoing advisory being the rear shock absorber’s reduced damping effect noted in July 2025, while earlier failures such as the 2015 rear‑shock seal leak have been rectified. Mileage for a 2001 model is low overall, averaging about 1,440 miles per year, but the record shows a pronounced spike between early 2014 and mid‑2016 where the odometer jumped from roughly 15,300 miles to 171,000 miles, then a sharp drop to 18,500 miles in 2017, indicating a possible ownership change or data error. Subsequent entries display a steady, modest increase of roughly 1,400 miles annually, with test intervals ranging from 11 months to over two years, suggesting periods of light use and occasional gaps in inspection. A buyer should inspect the rear shock absorber for oil leaks and damping performance, check the rear suspension arm ball joint for wear, examine front brake pads for remaining thickness, and assess rear tyre tread depth against the legal limit. The history also flags a rear‑shock seal failure in 2015 and a rear‑tyre advisory in 2016, so a visual check for corrosion, mounting condition, and any oil staining is advisable. Finally, verify the odometer’s consistency across the log to confirm true usage.
