2016 Yamaha MT 0.8L Petrol · RK16 GKF

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a minor decline in mechanical attention after several years of clean records. The May 2026 test at 10,496 miles flagged both a noisy exhaust and a slightly loose drive chain. These issues represent a return to faults previously seen in May 2022 at 5,781 miles, suggesting that the exhaust system requires ongoing monitoring despite the overall pass. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a ten-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,050 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between 2024 and 2025, where the bike covered only 630 miles, followed by a more active period of 2,790 miles in the final year. While low mileage generally limits wear on the engine and drivetrain, long periods of standing can lead to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and flat spots on tyres, which may account for the slack drive chain reported. A buyer should perform a physical inspection of the offside rear exhaust system to determine if the noise is caused by internal corrosion, loose brackets, or failing mounting bolts. The drive chain requires immediate checking for proper tension and sprocket wear to ensure safe operation. Given the low annual mileage, it is also vital to inspect the brake fluid for moisture ingress and the fork seals for leaks, as stationary vehicles often suffer more from age-related degradation than from high-mile wear.
