2016 Yamaha XT 1.2L Petrol · MJ66 VUD

The vehicle currently maintains a roadworthy status, showing a clear trend of improving maintenance standards. The most recent test in February 2026 at 43,841 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that previous mechanical and electrical faults have been addressed. This follows a period of instability in early 2024, suggesting that the current owner is proactive in rectifying defects identified by the tester. At 43,841 miles, the Yamaha XT reflects a low annual average of approximately 4,384 miles per year. The data pattern shows a significant gap in usage between December 2022 and January 2024, where the bike covered only 5,220 miles in thirteen months. However, usage has increased recently, with 10,341 miles covered between the two most recent MOT tests. This low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain but can sometimes lead to seal degradation or fluid oxidation if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the steering head bearings, as this component was flagged as stiff or notchy in both 2022 and early 2024. While the 2024 failure indicates repair, a manual test of the steering sweep should ensure movement remains smooth and free of notches or resistance. Additionally, although the rear brake disc was noted as worn in 2024, the current thickness of the disc and the condition of the pads should be verified to ensure the replacement was carried out to a professional standard.
