2016 Yamaha MT 0.8L Petrol · AP16 AAJ

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in August 2025 at 25,121 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend suggests a stable maintenance regime where the owner has proactively maintained the motorcycle to meet regulatory standards without any recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation over the last five years. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,500 miles annually. Between July 2021 and 2022, the bike covered 6,791 miles, indicating a period of higher usage. However, the rate has dropped significantly since 2022, with only 4,545 miles recorded between the 2022 and August 2025 tests. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between uses can increase the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components and fluid chemistry. Despite the clean record, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by time rather than just distance. Check the tyres for perish or cracking on the sidewalls, as low-mileage vehicles often sit long enough for the rubber to dry out. Examine the brake lines for signs of internal corrosion and inspect the fork seals for leaks that may occur during long periods of inactivity. Verify the chain tension and sprocket condition to ensure that the low usage has not led to neglect regarding lubrication or rust on the links.
