2007 Yamaha YZF R6 0.6L Petrol · FJ57 MXD

The Yamaha YZF R6 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent test on 21 February 2026 at 16,609 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Each annual examination from 2022 through 2026 returned a pass with no advisories, showing the machine has avoided recurring mechanical or structural faults across the period. The recorded mileage reflects light use for a 2007 machine. The 14 April 2022 test at 8,162 miles and the 23 January 2023 test at 8,301 miles show only 139 miles added in nine months, implying the bike stood idle for long stretches. From 2023 to 2026 the clock advanced to 16,609 miles, an average of roughly 2,769 miles per year, still low against the 19-year age and pointing to a gently rising but restrained annual figure. Because the DVSA record carries no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, calipers, steering head bearings, or exhaust emissions, the history alone gives no signal of wear-driven risk. A buyer should still inspect the bike in person for corrosion on the frame and swingarm, check fork seals for weeping, and confirm tyre age given the low mileage may mean original or long-fitted rubber. Standing time can harden suspension components and degrade fluids despite clean tests. The absence of failed tests or repeated defects suggests prior owners kept basic statutory compliance but offers no proof of proactive servicing. Verify chain tension, brake fluid condition, and battery health before purchase, as these consumables fall outside MOT scope yet degrade on a lightly used machine.
