2016 Yamaha MT 0.8L Petrol · PN66 FVM

A consistent record of roadworthiness defines this vehicle, with eight MOT tests showing a stable trend of passes and very few recorded defects. The most recent inspection on 25 August 2026 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, continuing a pattern of minimal mechanical failure since 2020. Only two instances of advisories appear in the history, involving tyre wear and a lighting switch, suggesting the vehicle has remained fundamentally compliant with DVSA standards throughout its testing history. The recorded mileage of 9,909 miles over a ten-year period represents an exceptionally low annual accumulation rate of approximately 991 miles per year. Mechanically, such low usage typically results in minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine internals, and suspension components. However, this usage profile indicates the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary, which can affect the condition of rubber components and fluid integrity over time. Inspection should focus on the components previously flagged in the MOT history. While the 2024 advisories regarding front and rear tyre wear were not present in the latest test, it is essential to verify the current tread depth and check for any signs of flat-spotting or perishing consistent with low-mileage usage. The minor defect regarding the headlamp switch noted in 2025 should be physically tested to ensure the main beam illuminates immediately and consistently upon activation. During a test ride, attention should be paid to the smoothness of the controls and the responsiveness of the braking system. Given the low mileage, check for any binding in the brake calipers or stiffness in the suspension travel that may have developed during periods of inactivity. Listen for any unusual noises from the drivetrain or chassis that could indicate a lack of regular lubrication, ensuring the vehicle operates without hesitation across the rev range.
