2019 Yamaha MT-09 ABS 0.8L Petrol · MT09 ABS

The 2019 Yamaha MT-09 ABS shows a fundamentally sound roadworthiness status following the most recent DVSA test on 5 June 2025 at 6,661 miles, where the examiner recorded no defects and granted a pass. Across the available history from 2022 to 2025 the maintenance trend stays stable, with zero advisories on suspension, braking, or structural integrity. The only anomaly appears on 22 May 2024 at 5,479 miles, when a fail was logged immediately followed by a pass at identical mileage on the same day; this points to an administrative correction rather than a mechanical non-compliance. Mileage accumulation relative to the seven-year age remains exceptionally low at roughly 952 miles per year. The odometer moved from 2,410 miles at the 28 March 2022 test to 3,463 at the 21 June 2023 inspection, then rose to 5,479 by 22 May 2024, and reached 6,661 by June 2025. Such sparse but steady increments indicate light recreational use rather than commuting, though the bike likely spent extended intervals stationary. The clean record across these intervals suggests previous custodians addressed consumables before each test, avoiding the typical tyre tread or lighting failures seen on neglected vehicles. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of components prone to deterioration under low-use storage. The MOT entries never cited corrosion, exhaust emissions, or worn suspension bushes, yet standing periods invite fork seal weeping and superficial rust on steel fixtures. We advise checking brake disc thickness and caliper binding manually, as the tester did not record such measurements. Chain and sprocket wear may also hide behind low miles if lubrication lapsed during storage. Overall the documentary evidence supports a well-kept machine with no escalating faults. Prospective owners must verify the 2024 fail reason via DVSA backend, but the concurrent pass implies no lasting concern. Personal examination of tyre date codes and suspension action remains prudent given the bike's sedentary profile.
