2023 Yamaha MT-09 (MTN890) 0.9L Petrol · MD23 LNF

The vehicle most recently passed its MOT on 9 July 2026 with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the motorcycle is currently in a roadworthy condition and the maintenance trend appears stable. Given the absence of any recorded failures or warnings, there are no immediate mechanical concerns identified by the DVSA, suggesting the vehicle has been kept to a satisfactory standard. With a recorded mileage of 5,668 miles over approximately three years, the annual usage rate is low at roughly 1,889 miles per year. While this suggests minimal wear on the engine internals, clutch, and drivetrain, such low mileage often implies the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary. This usage profile shifts the mechanical risk from wear-and-tear degradation to issues associated with standing, which requires a specific approach during a physical inspection. Because the MOT history is clean and mileage is low, the buyer should focus on time-based degradation rather than mileage-based wear. It is essential to inspect the tyre sidewalls for signs of perishing or hairline cracking, as rubber compounds harden and lose grip over time regardless of remaining tread depth. The brake discs should be examined for surface corrosion or pitting, and the calipers should be checked for binding, which can occur when a vehicle is left unused for extended periods. Further attention should be given to the 12V battery health and the condition of the fluids. Brake fluid is hygroscopic and absorbs moisture over time, meaning it may require replacement based on the calendar even if the mileage is low. The buyer should verify the service history to ensure oil changes have been performed annually rather than solely by mileage. Finally, the drive chain should be inspected for seized links or surface rust, and the suspension seals should be checked for leaks that can develop when forks remain static for too long.
