2004 Yamaha FZ6 0.6L Petrol · NX04 FBN

The vehicle maintains a stable level of roadworthiness with a consistent history of passes in recent years. The most recent test on 14 May 2026 at 29,487 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the motorcycle currently meets all minimum safety standards. Following a failure in 2023, the bike has achieved clean records for three consecutive inspections, suggesting that identified mechanical issues were addressed and resolved. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a vehicle from 2004, averaging approximately 1,340 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between August 2015 and August 2018, during which only 219 miles were recorded over three years. While low mileage generally suggests less wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of inactivity can lead to degradation of rubber components and stagnant fluids. The rate of use has increased slightly since 2020, but it remains well below typical averages, reflecting a pattern of short-term use. A buyer should pay close attention to the drive system, as the chain failed for being excessively loose in both April 2014 at 16,849 miles and March 2023 at 24,979 miles. Despite the recent pass, the recurring nature of this fault suggests the chain and sprockets require inspection for stretch or wear. Additionally, the 2018 test flagged slight free play and a notch in the central front steering headbearing. A physical inspection of the steering assembly is necessary to ensure these bearings have not developed further play or seized from age. Given the age and low mileage, checking for corrosion on the fuel tank and perished brake lines is also essential.
