2014 Yamaha YZF R6 0.6L Petrol · PE14 HNF

The vehicle is currently out of MOT, with the most recent valid certificate expiring in October 2023. The maintenance trend appears stable based on the available data, as the bike passed its last test on 12 October 2022 at 6,395 miles without any recorded defects or advisories. The failure on the same day was likely a clerical error or a minor rectification completed immediately, given that no specific faults were listed. The mileage is exceptionally low for a twelve year old motorcycle, averaging roughly 533 miles per year. Between the September 2021 test at 5,161 miles and the October 2022 test at 6,395 miles, the owner covered 1,234 miles. However, the vehicle has remained stationary for nearly three years since the last recorded test, which is a significant gap that outweighs the benefit of low odometer readings. A buyer must prioritise a thorough inspection of the braking system and tyres. Long periods of standing often lead to binding calipers, perished brake hoses, and flat-spotted tyres. The low mileage suggests the rubber compounds may be aged and hardened despite having plenty of tread remaining. Check for signs of corrosion on the chassis and swingarm, as stagnant bikes in damp environments are prone to surface rust. The fuel system should be inspected for varnish or gumming caused by old petrol. Finally, verify the battery health and oil condition, as these components degrade rapidly when a vehicle is not cycled regularly.
