2018 Yamaha MT-10 SP MTN1000D 1.0L Petrol · AX18 NPF

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean history of passes across its recorded life. The most recent test on 29 May 2025 at 6,437 miles passed with no defects recorded, despite an initial failure entry on the same day which listed no faults. This suggests an administrative error or a minor technicality that was rectified immediately, as the bike has maintained a consistent record of zero advisories across all previous inspections. The usage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 805 miles per year. Between February 2022 at 2,542 miles and May 2025 at 6,437 miles, the bike covered only 3,895 miles over three years. The gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests shows the vehicle is likely to remain stationary for extended periods. While this low mileage indicates minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, it introduces specific risks related to age-related degradation of materials rather than mechanical friction. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by long-term storage and low mileage. Check the tyres for flat spotting and sidewall cracking, as rubber compound hardens over time despite deep tread depth. Inspect the brake fluid for moisture contamination and check the calipers for signs of corrosion or pitting common when bikes sit unused. Given the age of the machine, also verify the fork seals for leaking and inspect the condition of the fuel hoses and rubber lines, as these polymer-based components often perish due to dry rot long before the mechanical parts reach the end of their service life based on the mileage recorded.
