2009 Yamaha YZF 0.1L Petrol · R8 RYV

The Yamaha YZF presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 19 July 2025 at 27,894 miles which recorded no defects. Prior examinations show the same clean outcome: a pass on 30 July 2024 at 27,894 miles, and a pass on 1 July 2023 at 27,867 miles. The machine carries a clean bill of health across its recent testing cycle. The recorded mileage sits at 27,894 against a 2009 build, averaging roughly 1,641 miles per year. The odometer barely moved between 24 June 2022 (27,733 miles) and 1 July 2023 (27,867 miles), a gain of just 134 miles, then held flat at 27,894 through the 2024 and 2025 tests. Such low, static mileage implies long periods of storage rather than regular use. The sparse, defect-free record gives little to challenge on paper, though standing time invites unseen degradation. A buyer should physically inspect the suspension bushes, fork seals, and coil springs for perishing caused by inactivity rather than wear. Brake calipers and discs warrant close checking for binding or corrosion after years of little rotation. Structural integrity around the frame and exhaust must be examined for rust that a stationary machine develops despite a clear MOT sheet. The 1 July 2023 entry shows a fail immediately followed by a pass at identical mileage with no defects logged, a clerical or presentation anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Verify the VIN and test certificate against DVSA records on viewing. Otherwise the history supports a low-use machine needing in-person confirmation of storage-related condition.
