2010 Yamaha MT-01 1.7L Petrol · AF60 OSO

The Yamaha MT-01 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 22 September 2025 at 16,273 miles which recorded no defects. Every annual examination from 2021 through 2025 returned a pass with no advisories, showing the machine has been consistently presented in a condition that meets UK roadworthiness standards across its recorded history. The odometer shows remarkably low use for a 2010 machine. The 2021 test at 15,653 miles and the 2025 reading of 16,273 miles give an average of roughly 1,000 miles per year. Between September 2023 (16,160 miles) and September 2024 (16,273 miles) the bike covered just 113 miles, and the identical 16,273 figure then repeats in 2025. Such minimal accumulation implies long stationary periods rather than active wear, though the clean record gives no evidence of neglect in presentation. A buyer should still physically verify components that low-mileage, long-dormant machines degrade through age rather than use. Standing time promotes corrosion on structural frames, exhaust systems, and brake discs, while rubber suspension bushes and fork seals harden and crack regardless of distance travelled. The absence of advisories means no specific fault was flagged, but the tester cannot certify unseen internal condition. Inspect the front and rear brake calipers for seizure after inactivity, check tyre sidewalls for perishing from age, and confirm the chain and sprockets remain free of rust binding. Given the sparse but clean history, the MT-01 reads as a genuinely low-use example, yet a pre-purchase hands-on check of steering head bearings and coolant hoses remains prudent before commitment.
