2016 Yamaha MT 0.8L Petrol · DF16 NVT

The Yamaha MT presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 2 June 2025 at 21,844 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken four-year sequence of clean MOT outcomes. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, advisories, or recurring mechanical concerns across the available history. Annual mileage remains exceptionally low for a ten-year-old machine. The record shows 16,085 miles at the 26 May 2022 test, rising to 17,918 miles on 24 May 2023, 20,536 miles on 29 May 2024, and 21,844 miles on 2 June 2025. That equates to roughly 2,180 miles per year. The sparse, defect-free entries suggest a lightly used or frequently stored vehicle rather than one subjected to high-load commuting. A clean MOT sheet does not exempt the buyer from physical inspection. Low-use machines often develop perished rubber, seized calipers, or corroded brake discs through standing idle. The tester logged no structural rust, suspension bush wear, or exhaust issues, but a 2025 pass reflects only that day's condition. Prior to purchase, the buyer should confirm brake caliper freedom, check fork seals and rear shock for weepage, and inspect tyres for sidewall cracking from age rather than wear. The absent advisories imply previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet the low annual distance means consumables may be old despite low tread loss.
