2010 Yamaha MT-01 1.7L Petrol · AF60 OSO

This Yamaha MT-01 demonstrates an exemplary record of roadworthiness, maintaining a consistent streak of clean MOT passes without a single recorded defect or advisory over the last five years. The most recent inspection on 22 September 2025 confirms a stable mechanical condition, indicating that the vehicle has consistently met DVSA standards without requiring remedial work to pass. The recorded mileage of 16,273 miles is notably low for a sixteen-year-old machine, averaging roughly 1,017 miles per year. This usage pattern suggests that the primary mechanical components, including the engine and gearbox, have experienced significantly less wear than typical for this model. While this preserves the longevity of the drivetrain, the low annual mileage indicates the vehicle has likely spent significant periods of time stationary between uses. Given the absence of MOT advisories, a physical inspection should focus on verifying the current state of consumables that may not have triggered a failure. During a test drive, pay close attention to the smoothness of the clutch engagement and the precision of the gear changes to ensure the drivetrain remains fluid. Check for any hesitation in the throttle response or irregularities in the idling, which can occur in low-mileage fuel systems. Inspect the chassis and swingarm for any signs of surface corrosion or oil misting around the fork seals and engine gaskets, as these are common areas for age-related degradation that may not be flagged as MOT defects until they become significant. Ensure the brake levers and pedals feel firm and responsive, checking specifically for any binding in the calipers that could result from infrequent use.
