2018 Yamaha YZF R1 18 1.0L Petrol · AY18 MPX

The vehicle presents a consistent and stable maintenance profile with no recorded defects across the available MOT history. The most recent test on 4 April 2026 at 3,203 miles resulted in a clean pass with no advisories or failures noted. This indicates a sustained period of compliance and suggests that the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that avoids common structural or mechanical failures. The recorded mileage is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 400 miles per year. The data shows a very slow accumulation of distance, moving from 2,865 miles in April 2022 to 3,203 miles in April 2026. While this low usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, such long periods of inactivity can lead to secondary issues. The lack of mileage accumulation between 2023 and 2025 suggests the vehicle may have spent significant time stationary. A prospective buyer should focus on components affected by prolonged sitting rather than wear-and-tear items. Inspect the fuel system for degradation, specifically checking for moisture or varnish in the tank and lines. Given the low usage, the battery health and rubber components like tyres, fork seals, and brake hoses should be examined for age-related cracking or perishing. While the MOT history shows no issues with corrosion or structural integrity, a physical inspection of the chassis and fasteners is advised to ensure no oxidation has occurred during periods of storage.
