2004 Yamaha FZ6 0.6L Petrol · R9 BUH

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend over recent years. The most recent MOT test conducted in July 2025 at 35,563 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the motorcycle is currently in good mechanical condition. This follows a period of clean passes, suggesting that the previous owners have addressed any necessary requirements and prevented the accumulation of mechanical faults. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,616 miles per year. There is a notable four-year gap between the May 2019 and 2023 tests, during which the bike covered only 3,912 miles. Since 2023, the usage has become more consistent, covering 7,230 miles over the last three years. This low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine, though long periods of standing can affect rubber components and seals. A physical inspection should focus on the minor issues noted during the 2019 test at 28,251 miles. The tester flagged a light misting on the nearside front shock absorber and a short front brake lever. While these did not result in failures in subsequent years, a buyer should verify that the fork seal has not developed a leak and that the brake master cylinder does not suffer from excessive play. Given the age of the vehicle, checking for dry cracking in perished hoses and surface corrosion on the frame are also essential steps to ensure the low mileage has not masked environmental degradation.
