2002 Yamaha FZS600 0.6L Petrol · AY51 HDU

The vehicle's MOT history indicates a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects or advisories across the documented testing period. The most recent inspection on 18 March 2024 at 3,034 miles resulted in a clean pass, suggesting the vehicle has been maintained sufficiently to meet minimum legal standards. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical issues or worsening degradation in the official records. The mileage data reveals a significant and highly unusual discrepancy that requires careful scrutiny. The vehicle recorded 53,101 miles as recently as 4 February 2022, yet the subsequent test in January 2023 and the March 2024 test show a drastic reduction to 3,034 miles. This massive drop in recorded mileage is mathematically impossible for a functioning vehicle and suggests either a significant clerical error in the DVSA database or a replacement odometer. This extreme variance between the 2022 mileage and the 2024 mileage contradicts the low average annual usage typically expected from a vehicle of this age. A prospective buyer must treat this record with extreme caution due to the conflicting mileage data. While the MOT history shows no failures, the sudden drop from 53,101 miles to 3,034 miles makes it impossible to verify the true wear on the drivetrain, engine components, or suspension bushings. You must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyre tread depth, brake disc thickness, and sprocket wear to determine if the bike has actually covered 3,000 miles or 53,000 miles. Check the chassis and subframe for any signs of corrosion or structural integrity issues that the MOT might have missed. Given the potential for long periods of standing or incorrect odometer readings, inspect all rubber components, including fork seals and fuel lines, for signs of perishing or cracking. Verify the physical odometer reading against the written record to resolve the discrepancy before proceeding with a purchase.
