2008 Yamaha YZF R6 0.6L Petrol · LG58 NTN

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, though the maintenance history shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test in July 2022 at 38,621 miles passed despite a worn rear brake disc, but this occurred four years ago. Given the current date of July2026, the motorcycle is without a valid MOT, which is a significant concern regarding its current mechanical state and safety after a long period of inactivity. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old supersport, averaging approximately 2,146 miles per year. While this suggests minimal wear on the engine, the data reveals significant gaps in usage, such as the 9,183-mile gap between 2018 and 2020, and the 8,513-mile gap between 2020 and 2022. These stationary periods often lead to degradation of rubber-based components, seized calipers, and fluid oxidation, which are not always captured by mileage figures alone. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the braking and drive systems due to recurring failures. The record shows consistently thin rear brake pads in both 2018 and 2020, followed by a worn disc noted in 2022. The drive chain and sprockets have been flagged for wear and excessive slack across 2017 and 2018, indicating the drivetrain requires close scrutiny. Because the bike has likely sat for years since its last test, you should also check for perished tyres, degraded fuel, and leaking fork seals which are common in low-mileage, high-age motorcycles.
