2016 Yamaha MT 0.1L Petrol · PN66 UGM

This Yamaha MT-09 shows a stable roadworthiness record with no serious mechanical or structural failures in the most recent MOT tests. The last two annual checks—conducted on 2025-10-23 and 2024-11-01—both passed without defects, confirming the vehicle remains compliant with current UK regulations. The lone failure in December 2022, a minor electrical issue with the rear brake light, was resolved promptly, indicating no pattern of neglect. The absence of advisories or recurring faults suggests the previous owner maintained the bike at a basic level, though the low mileage implies limited real-world stress on high-wear components. The recorded mileage of 16,543 miles over nearly a decade—approximately 1,654 miles annually—is unusually low for a motorcycle of this age, particularly given its sport-touring nature. This suggests either very light usage, prolonged storage, or a combination of both. The gap between the 2021 and 2022 MOTs (a full year without testing) is notable, though the failure in December 2022 was swiftly addressed. There is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or aggressive riding, which could have accelerated wear on suspension, brakes, or drivetrain components. A prospective buyer should prioritise an inspection of the electrical system, particularly the rear brake light and wiring harness, despite the past failure being minor. Given the low mileage, the suspension—including coil springs, steering dampers, and bushings—should be closely examined for signs of premature degradation or corrosion, as these components can deteriorate even when a bike is stationary. The brake system, while historically reliable, warrants verification of pad thickness, disc runout, and caliper binding, especially if the bike has been stored for extended periods. Finally, check for corrosion on the frame, especially around the fuel tank and undercarriage, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate rust formation.
