2006 Yamaha MT-01 1.7L Petrol · LC56 ABV

The Yamaha MT-01 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 24 June 2025 at 33,157 miles which recorded no defects. Every examination from 2019 through 2025 returned a pass with no advisories, indicating the machine has been kept to a consistent standard across its later life. The odometer shows 33,157 miles against a 2006 build, an average of roughly 1,658 miles per year. The records confirm light use: the bike covered only 1,785 miles between the April 2019 test at 27,228 miles and the June 2021 test at 30,604 miles, then just 1,785 miles again to the May 2023 pass at 31,372 miles. A single gap exists between June 2023 and June 2025, bridged by 1,785 miles, so no rapid accumulation or neglected periods stand out. The clean sheet across all five entries suggests previous keepers addressed consumables before each test rather than letting wear flag as advisories. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension linkages, swingarm bearings, and steering head races, as low-mileage machines left standing often develop perished rubber bushes and seizing pivots unseen by an MOT roller test. Brake caliper slide pins and disc condition warrant physical checks despite no binding or corrosion being noted historically. Given the 20-year age, examine frame welds and exhaust mounting points for structural rust that a pass certificate does not detail. The absence of recorded faults reflects compliance at test, not a guarantee of component life beyond the examined date.
