2004 Yamaha FZ6 0.6L Petrol · DX04 BVZ

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status, having achieved a clean MOT pass in April 2026 at 10,095 miles with no defects recorded. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified during the 2019 failure have been addressed and rectified. The trend from 2019 through to the 2026 test suggests that the motorcycle is being maintained to a passing standard despite the previous mechanical setbacks. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old machine, averaging approximately 459 miles per year. There is a significant six-year gap between the 2013 and 2019 tests, during which the bike covered only 73 miles. Since 2019, the usage has increased slightly, covering 2,587 miles over seven years. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long periods of inactivity implied by the data gaps often lead to age-related rubber degradation and fluid breakdown regardless of distance traveled. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the offside front shock absorber to ensure the serious fluid leak recorded in July 2019 was fully resolved and is not recurring. Given the previous failure for an excessively binding front brake, the brake calipers and master cylinder should be checked for seized pistons or signs of perished seals. Because the bike has sat for long intervals, particular attention is required for the tyres, fuel lines, and brake hoses, as these components often perish through oxidation over time rather than through mileage.
