2006 Yamaha YZF R1 2006 1.0L Petrol · FJ06 ADO

The Yamaha YZF R1 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on 2 July 2025 at 15,374 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Across the five available tests from 2021 to 2025, the machine cleared every examination without advisories or failures. This consistent clean sheet indicates the previous keeper maintained the bike to a standard that satisfied DVSA criteria at each interval. The recorded mileage shows exceptionally light use for a 2006 machine. The odometer read 11,349 miles at the 2 June 2021 test and climbed to just 15,374 miles by July 2025, an increase of 4,025 miles over four years, averaging roughly 1,000 miles annually. The largest single jump was 3,001 miles between the July 2024 and July 2025 tests, following three years of near-dormant readings below 400 miles each. Such low totals relative to a twenty-year lifespan suggest prolonged standing periods rather than regular riding. Given the absence of any flagged defects across the record, no recurring mechanical or structural faults emerge from the data. The clean history offers no evidence of worn suspension bushes, degraded brake discs, binding calipers, or corrosion to the frame and exhaust. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection before purchase, as MOT tests do not assess internal engine condition, fork seal weeping, or tyre age cracking that standing storage accelerates. The sparse yet unbroken pass record implies a cautious owner who garaged the machine and addressed issues pre-test. Verify the actual odometer against the documented figures and confirm the 2025 test certificate validity. Prioritise checking for rust on the subframe and swinging arm, plus brake fluid condition, given the low annual mileage and likely intermittent use.
