2018 Yamaha MT-09 SP 0.8L Petrol · FN18 UGS

The Yamaha MT-09 SP presents a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 10 April 2026 at 10,709 miles which recorded no defects. Every annual examination from 2022 through 2026 returned a pass with no advisories, showing the machine has been consistently presented in testable condition without recurring mechanical or structural concerns. The mileage pattern reflects very light use for an eight-year-old 2018 machine. The record shows 3,055 miles at the 24 March 2022 test, rising to 5,594 miles by 9 March 2023, 7,694 miles on 26 March 2024, 9,371 miles on 3 April 2025, and 10,709 miles on 10 April 2026. That averages roughly 1,900 miles per year with no sudden accumulation spikes. Such low annual coverage suggests extended standing periods, though the unbroken pass history implies the previous keeper at least addressed basic roadworthiness before each test. A buyer should still inspect in person for issues that MOT testing may not capture on a lightly used bike. Long standing invites degraded fork seals, hardened suspension bushes, and surface corrosion on the frame or exhaust despite the absence of advisories. The brake calipers and discs warrant a close look for pitting or binding after low-mileage dormancy. Given the spotless test record, no recurring faults point to suspension, drivetrain, or structural weakness. The prudent step remains a physical check of tyre sidewall condition, chain tension, and coolant integrity before purchase.
