2009 Yamaha YZF R6 08 0.6L Petrol · HF09 FSN

A consistent record of clean passes over the last five years follows a period of repeated tyre wear advisories and a failure in early 2021. The most recent test on 22 May 2026 recorded no defects, suggesting a stable current state of roadworthiness after the resolution of previous compliance and safety issues. The recorded mileage of 7,814 miles is exceptionally low for a seventeen year old machine, averaging approximately 460 miles per annum. This usage profile indicates the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary. While this results in minimal mechanical wear on the engine internals and drivetrain, prolonged inactivity can impact the condition of rubber components and seals. Inspection should focus on the tyres, given the history of repeated advisories for rear tyre wear between 2019 and 2021, which culminated in a dangerous failure for tread depth. Ensure the current tyres are not merely legally compliant in depth but are also within a reasonable age range. During a test drive, monitor for any uneven wear patterns or vibrations that could indicate suspension or alignment issues. Given the low annual mileage and periods of inactivity, check for binding brake calipers or sticking pistons which can occur when a vehicle is left stationary. Feel for a consistent lever pull and ensure the bike rolls freely when in neutral. Pay close attention to any signs of corrosion on the brake discs or structural components, as these can develop during long-term storage.
