YAMAHA YZF R3 ABS2023 · 0.3L Petrol

The Yamaha YZF R3 ABS presents a currently roadworthy status following its most recent MOT pass on 26 January 2024 at 602 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable given the absence of recorded defects in that test. The single prior failure on 20 January 2024 at the identical 602 miles carries no listed defects, indicating an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven failure. No worsening or recurring mechanical pattern emerges from the two entries supplied. The recorded mileage of 602 miles against a 2023 model year shows extremely low use, averaging roughly 201 miles per year across the three years to the January 2024 tests. Both MOT entries share the same odometer reading, confirming the machine stood unused between the failed and passed tests within that week and saw negligible accumulation beforehand. The sparse history offers no evidence of rapid wear or consumable depletion, though standing time at low mileage raises the prospect of stale fluids and degraded seals unseen in the record. A buyer should physically verify brake caliper freedom and disc condition, as prolonged inactivity at 602 miles can induce binding from stagnant fluid despite the clean test. Suspension linkage and tyre sidewall integrity warrant inspection for perishing caused by storage rather than mileage. The absence of corrosion or structural advisories in the DVSA data implies no flagged risk, but a visual check of frame and exhaust for standing-related oxidation remains prudent given the machine's dormant profile.
