2007 Yamaha MT-01 1.7L Petrol · OY07 CKU

The vehicle remains currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a minor decline regarding brake-related components. The most recent test in March 2026 at 11,257 miles resulted in a pass despite a worn rear brake disc. This follows a March 2025 advisory where the same component was flagged for being pitted and scored. While the bike has passed consistently, the recurring mention of brake discs indicates they are approaching their service limit. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 19-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 592 miles per year. The data shows consistent, low-usage patterns over the last five years, with only 918 miles recorded between the September 2021 test and the March 2026 test. This low mileage suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods in storage or used sparingly. However, such low mileage often masks age-related degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown that is not captured by a standard MOT inspection. A buyer must perform a close inspection of the front suspension, as the March 2025 record noted a light misting of oil on the nearside front shock absorber. This should be checked for increased seal failure or active leaks which would necessitate fork overhaul. The rear brake disc requires a physical measurement of thickness and surface condition to ensure the pitting has not compromised structural integrity. Given the vehicle's age and low usage, also inspect for dry cracking in tyres, perished brake lines, and corrosion, as these parts fail due to time rather than distance.
