2015 Yamaha MT 0.7L Petrol · FJ15 EFB

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 19 May 2026 at 4,958 miles resulted in no recorded defects, continuing a stable trend observed over the last five years. This flawless record suggests that the mechanical and structural components have remained in good condition without the recurring failures or minor advisories often seen on older machinery. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 450 miles per year. Between August 2024 and May 2026, the vehicle covered only 220 miles, indicating periods of infrequent use or long-term storage. This low usage typically limits mechanical wear on the drivetrain, engine, and brake system. However, the long intervals between tests and the low annual mileage-run also increase the risk of age-related degradation in rubber-based components and fluids which are not always captured in a standard MOT inspection. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must perform a physical inspection focusing on components affected by long-term standing. Inspect the tyres for flat spotting and sidewall cracking, as rubber loses elasticity over a decade regardless of tread depth. Check the brake fluid for moisture contamination and examine the calipers for seizing, which can occur during periods of inactivity. Additionally, verify the chain and sprockets for surface rust or seizing and ensure the fork seals have not perished or leaked due to age.
