2011 Yamaha FZ6 0.6L Petrol · GY11 SHV

The Yamaha FZ6 displays a highly stable roadworthiness record, with the most recent MOT pass on 3 July 2025 at 16,230 miles showing no recorded defects. The machine has consistently cleared its annual inspections since the 2018 failure, suggesting a proactive approach to maintenance by the current keeper. The absence of advisories in the last seven years indicates that the motorcycle has been kept in a sound mechanical state, with no recurring issues currently threatening its structural or operational integrity. The vehicle has covered a total of 16,230 miles over its 15-year lifespan, averaging approximately 1,082 miles per annum. This low usage is consistent throughout the history, though the jump from 8,470 miles in 2014 to 11,128 miles in 2015 represents the most significant period of activity. The minimal mileage accumulation since 2016 implies the bike has spent substantial time in storage. While low mileage often suggests limited component wear, it can also lead to issues related to long-term inactivity, such as fuel system degradation or perished rubber components that do not always appear on an MOT certificate. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the condition of consumable items that may have aged rather than worn. The 2018 failure noted a misting shock absorber and thin brake pads, while the 2014 and 2024 tests highlighted brake and drive chain wear. You should verify the current state of the drive chain and sprockets, as the 2024 tester flagged wear even with the low annual mileage. Check the fork seals for any signs of leaking oil, as the previous misting issue suggests these seals may be prone to drying out during periods of disuse. Inspect the brake fluid for signs of contamination and confirm that the tyres remain free of sidewall cracking, which is a common symptom of a machine that has seen limited road time.
