2017 Yamaha MT 1.0L Petrol · AF17 NLC

This Yamaha MT presents a clean bill of health across its entire MOT history. The most recent test on 4 August 2025 at 12,629 miles passed with zero defects, and every single preceding test back to 2021 also passed with no advisories or failures. The maintenance trend is entirely stable, with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged by any tester over five consecutive annual inspections. This is a strong indicator of a well-kept machine that has not developed any progressive faults. The mileage pattern tells a clear story of very low, consistent use. The bike covered just 1,403 miles per year on average over its nine-year life, with annual increments hovering between 150 and 1,165 miles. The largest single-year jump occurred between May 2021 at 10,978 miles and May 2022 at 12,143 miles, a gain of 1,165 miles. Every subsequent year added only 150 to 200 miles. There are no suspicious gaps or sudden spikes in the odometer record, and the mileage progression aligns naturally with the test dates. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer should still carry out a thorough in-person inspection focused on components that MOT tests do not fully stress. Low-mileage motorcycles that stand for long periods can develop sticking brake calipers, deteriorated fork seals, flat-spotted tyres, and fuel system issues from stale petrol. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion, inspect the chain and sprockets for tight spots or rust, and verify that the battery holds charge properly. Examine the tyre dates and sidewalls for cracking from age rather than wear, as the original rubber may be approaching or past its safe service life even with ample tread remaining. A short test ride will reveal any binding brakes, clunky gearbox engagement, or idle instability that a static inspection might miss.
