2016 Yamaha MT 0.8L Petrol · GD16 WTW

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test conducted on 22 January 2026 at 19,572 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating a stable maintenance trend over the last five years. This streak of perfect records suggests that the mechanical and structural components have been maintained without the recurring failures typically seen in older machinery. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,957 miles per year. Between January 2023 and January 2026, the vehicle covered only 4,407 miles, showing a pattern of infrequent use. There is a notable gap in records between December 2021 and January 2023, where the bike covered only 1,698 miles over thirteen months. While this low mileage reduces general wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it increases the likelihood of component degradation due to age and stationary periods rather than use. Because the MOT history shows no mechanical faults, a physical inspection should focus on items associated with low-mileage storage. A buyer must check the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spotting, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. The brake fluid should be tested for moisture content, and the fork seals should be checked for signs of leaking which often occurs when a bike sits stationary without regular heat cycles. Additionally, inspect the chain androckets for corrosion to ensure the low usage has not led to oxidation of the drivetrain.
