2009 Yamaha YZF R1 1.0L Petrol · CV09 SNX

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a clean record across its most recent inspections. The latest MOT conducted on April 30, 2024 at 14,718 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This indicates that the motorcycle met all primary safety and emission standards at that time, showing no signs of immediate mechanical or structural failure that would suggest a declining trend in its condition. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old machine, averaging approximately 866 miles per year. There is a significant seven-year gap between the May 2014 and April 2021 tests, during which the vehicle covered only 4,454 miles. The subsequent 772 miles recorded between 2021 and 2024 confirm an infrequent usage pattern. While low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long periods of inactivity implied by these data gaps often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluids. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of items typically associated with low-mileage, long-term storage. You should check for perished fuel lines, cracked brake hoses, and fork seals that may have leaked due to lack of movement rather than friction. Given the age of the bike, examine the frame for corrosion and check the brake discs for pitting or surface rust, which occurs frequently despite low use. The single failure in 2014 was immediately rectified with a pass, suggesting a specific issue was addressed rather than a recurring mechanical fault.
