1987 Yamaha FZ600 0.6L Petrol · D344 CPF

The 1987 Yamaha FZ600 presents a stable roadworthiness status with no recorded defects across its two most recent MOT tests. The May 2023 test at 9,278 miles passed cleanly with no advisories, matching the May 2022 pass at 9,211 miles. The maintenance trend shows no worsening or recurring fault pattern; the machine has remained structurally and mechanically sound under official inspection for at least the past four years. Recorded mileage sits at 9,278 miles as of May 2023, equating to roughly 238 miles per year across its 39-year life. The gap between the 2022 and 2023 tests shows only 67 miles added, confirming extremely light use and likely long stationary periods. The sparse two-entry history offers no evidence of rapid accumulation or neglected intervals; previous keepers appear to have stored the bike rather than ridden it hard. A buyer should still inspect for age-related corrosion on the frame and exhaust, as standing vehicles suffer rust where moisture settles. The low turnover means suspension bushes, fork seals, and brake calipers may have hardened or seized without detection during the clean tests. Check the tyres for perishing from age rather than wear, and confirm the brake discs are free of pitting. The clean MOT record reflects test-day condition only; a 1987 machine with this usage profile needs hands-on scrutiny of consumables and structural integrity before purchase.
