2006 Yamaha YZF R1 1.0L Petrol · FP55 WXN

The Yamaha YZF R1 passed its most recent MOT on 13 March 2026 at 14,493 miles with no defects recorded, confirming a stable and clean roadworthiness trend across the latest tests. The absence of advisories or failures in the current cycle indicates the machine has been presented in sound mechanical order. Recorded mileage shows exceptionally light use for a 2006 model. The bike covered just 14,003 miles at the 26 June 2023 test, rising to 14,387 miles on 1 July 2024, 14,433 miles on 5 July 2025, and 14,493 miles in March 2026. That averages roughly 725 miles per year. A failed then passed test on the same day in July 2025 with no defects logged suggests an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault. The sparse, clean history gives no evidence of recurring suspension bushes, brake disc, or structural corrosion problems. Low annual mileage over two decades implies long standing periods, which can degrade fork seals, tyre sidewalls, and fuel system components even without MOT flags. A buyer should still inspect for fluid contamination, perished hoses, and surface rust on the frame or exhaust that a visual MOT may not record. Verify the brake calipers are free, the chain and sprockets show no binding, and the tyres are not aged beyond safe service life given the bike's limited running.
