2004 Yamaha FZ6 0.6L Petrol · YT04 AWZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 11 July 2026 at 15,556 miles. The maintenance trend is generally stable, though the latest test introduced a new advisory regarding a noisy exhaust. Previous tests from June 2023 through June 2025 were clean, with the exception of a minor failure on 16 June 2023 for an insecure rear registration plate, which was resolved the same day. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 22 year old motorcycle, averaging roughly 707 miles per year. Between June 2023 and July 2026, the odometer increased by only 600 miles. This pattern indicates the bike has spent significant periods standing. While low mileage reduces drivetrain wear, long intervals of inactivity often lead to perished rubber components and fluid degradation. A buyer should focus on the exhaust system during a physical inspection to determine if the noise flagged in July 2026 stems from a simple leak or internal baffle failure. Given the low usage and long periods of dormancy, the condition of the tyres and brake fluid is a priority. Old tyres often develop flat spots or hard rubber compounds regardless of tread depth, and brake calipers can seize when left unused. Check for corrosion on the frame and swingarm, as low-mileage bikes kept in damp environments are prone to surface rust. The battery health and fuel system should also be verified, as these are the primary failure points for vehicles with such limited annual mileage.
