2008 Yamaha XT660X 0.7L Petrol · AB08 CSN

The current MOT status for this Yamaha XT660X is valid, with the most recent test conducted on 14 March 2025 at 53,995 miles resulting in a pass. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the vehicle successfully cleared its final test after minor rectification of headlamp aim. While the machine failed twice in early 2025 due to lighting and tyre tread issues, these are typical consumable faults rather than indicators of systemic mechanical failure or structural decay. The recorded mileage of 53,995 over eighteen years averages approximately 3,000 miles annually, which is notably low for a motorcycle of this type. A significant gap in usage occurred between the April 2022 test at 46,542 miles and the May 2023 test at 53,161 miles, followed by very limited movement through early 2025. This pattern suggests the bike likely spent extended periods in storage. Prospective buyers should be aware that low-mileage machines often suffer from fuel system degradation or perished rubber seals if they remain stationary for too long. Physical inspection should focus on the suspension components, specifically the front shock absorbers which showed signs of oil misting during the May 2023 assessment. While this did not trigger a failure, you should check for weeping seals or compromised damping performance. Additionally, verify the condition of the front brake pads, as they were noted as nearing their minimum limit during that same 2023 inspection. Given the recent tyre failure in February 2025, confirm the current tread depth and ensure the rear indicator assembly is fully functional, as these electrical and consumable items remain the primary points of failure for this specific vehicle.
