2018 Yamaha MT-09 SP 0.8L Petrol · LG18 AOP

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with a consistent maintenance record across its documented history. The most recent test on 19 May 2025 at 11,139 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This momentary failure suggests a minor administrative or mechanical oversight that was rectified immediately, as the subsequent pass confirmed the motorcycle met all statutory safety and emissions standards. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,392 miles per year. The progression from 3,078 miles in April 2022 to 11,139 miles in May 2025 shows steady but infrequent use. The jump of 2,828 miles between the 2024 and 2025 tests indicates a slight increase in activity compared to previous years. Such low mileage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, though it increases the likelihood of age-related degradation of materials rather than mileage-related fatigue. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by long periods of low use and the age of the rubber elements. Checking for cracking in brake lines, perished fork seals, and tyre sidewalls is essential as these parts degrade when a vehicle sits stationary. While the MOT record shows no structural corrosion or mechanical failures, the buyer should verify the drive chain for surface rust and ensure the brake fluid has not absorbed moisture, as low-mileage history often masks neglect of fluid intervals.
