2018 Yamaha MT-09 ABS 0.8L Petrol · LC18 PBZ

The vehicle maintains an excellent roadworthiness status with a consistent history of clean MOT results. The most recent test conducted on 15 May 2026 at 13,526 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This reflects a stable maintenance trend across the last five tests, indicating that the motorcycle has remained in a high state of repair without any recurring mechanical or structural failures alerting the DVSA. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,691 miles per year. There is a notable gap between the May 2022 test at 8,638 miles and the July 2023 test at 12,012 miles, where the bike covered over 3,300 miles in a single year. Since then, the mileage accumulation has slowed significantly, adding between 600 and 700 miles annually. This low-frequency use suggests light usage, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and suspension components compared to higher-mile examples. While the digital record shows no mechanical faults, a physical inspection should focus on components affected by low-mileage storage. A buyer must check for dry cracking on tyres and perished rubber seals, as age affects rubber when a vehicle stands for long periods. Inspect the brake discs for surface pitting and ensure the chain shows no signs of heavy rust from lack of lubrication. Given the clean history, verifying the fluid levels and the condition of the fork seals is essential to ensure the low mileage has not masked stagnant internal degradation.
