2013 Yamaha YZF R6 0.6L Petrol · CU13 SNZ

The MOT record presents a stable and consistently clean roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 13 May 2024 recorded zero miles and passed with no defects whatsoever. This follows a pattern of identical clean passes stretching back to February 2019, with no advisories or failures noted across the entire documented history. Mechanically, the motorcycle has presented no concerns to any tester over at least five years of recorded inspections. The mileage data tells an unusual story. Between 20 January 2021 at 9,192 miles and 13 May 2024 at zero miles, the recorded distance dropped by over 9,000 miles, which is physically implausible and strongly suggests a clocking discrepancy, a replacement instrument cluster, or a data entry error at the testing station. Prior to that anomaly, the mileage progression was entirely credible: 8,410 miles in February 2019, 8,964 miles in March 2020, and 9,192 miles in January 2021, representing roughly 550 miles per year over that two-year window. For a 2013 machine now approximately 13 years old, the implied total use of around 9,000 miles is exceptionally low, averaging under 700 miles annually across its life. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer should treat the mileage anomaly as a significant red flag and verify the true distance covered through service records, insurance documents, or a HPI check. A physical inspection should focus on components that deteriorate with age and standing use rather than mileage. Check the fork seals, suspension linkage bearings, and swingarm pivot for corrosion or seizure from prolonged inactivity. Inspect brake calipers for seized pistons and brake discs for surface corrosion, as motorcycles left standing frequently suffer from binding brakes and pitted disc faces. Examine the fuel system, including the tank interior for rust and the fuel pump, since stale fuel from long periods of non-use can cause blockages and injector damage. Tyres should be closely inspected for sidewall cracking and date codes, as rubber degrades with age regardless of tread depth. The drive chain and sprockets warrant attention for corrosion and stiffness from lack of use and lubrication.
