2009 Yamaha XT 660 X 0.7L Petrol · FL59 AAX

The vehicle demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its most recent September 2024 MOT at 3,191 miles. All prior tests from 2019 to 2023 also showed passing results with no recorded issues, indicating consistent maintenance and no emerging mechanical concerns. The absence of advisories or failures across this seven-year span suggests the bike has been well-preserved, though low mileage raises questions about long-term component integrity. The recorded mileage of 3,191 miles over 17 years equates to an average of 188 miles annually, significantly below typical usage for a vehicle of this age. Notable gaps between MOTs, such as the 14-month interval between the 2019 test (2,566 miles) and 2021 test (2,910 miles), may reflect irregular servicing. While no defects were flagged, the infrequent testing could mask gradual wear in systems like suspension bushes or brake components, which benefit from regular use to maintain functionality. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for hardened bushes or coil spring fatigue, as prolonged inactivity can compromise these parts. The brake calipers and discs should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the bike has been stationary for extended periods. Additionally, the exhaust system and structural integrity warrant scrutiny, as low mileage may conceal hidden rust or degradation not detected during MOTs. The absence of recorded issues is positive, but the vehicle’s usage pattern necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm its mechanical soundness.
