2010 Yamaha XJ600 0.6L Petrol · EK60 ACV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 4 December 2024 at 36,609 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This failure suggests a minor issue that was rectified immediately prior to the retest, but the overall trend indicates the motorcycle has maintained its mechanical and structural integrity over the last three testing cycles. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old machine, averaging approximately 2,288 miles per year. Between November 2021 and November 2022, the bike covered only 1,000 miles, indicating very infrequent use or long periods of storage. The jump of 735 miles between the November 2022 and 2023 tests confirms this low usage profile. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often leads to age-related degradation of rubber parts and fluids that MOT tests cannot capture. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components typically affected by low-mileage storage. Since the bike has sat for long intervals, it is vital to check for perished rubber hoses, cracked brake lines, and degraded fork seals that may leak. Inspect the brake calipers for seized pistons or surface corrosion, as infrequent use can cause components to seize up. Despite the clean MOT record, the frame should be checked for surface rust or deep corrosion to ensure the age of the vehicle has not compromised the structural integrity of the chassis.
