2003 Yamaha FZ6 0.6L Petrol · RX53 YVE

This vehicle demonstrates a stable and exemplary roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 29 October 2025 at 17,248 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to May 2021, indicating a motorcycle that has been maintained to a high standard without any recurring mechanical failures or safety advisories. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 23 year old machine, averaging roughly 750 miles per year. Between the May 2021 test at 17,071 miles and the October 2025 test at 17,248 miles, the odometer increased by only 177 miles over four and a half years. Such minimal usage suggests the bike has spent significant periods stationary, which often presents different risks than high-mileage wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components that degrade regardless of mileage. Long periods of inactivity can lead to perished rubber seals, cracked tyres, and fuel system varnish. Check the brake calipers for seizing and ensure the brake fluid is clear and not contaminated. The low mileage suggests the original suspension oil and fork seals may be aged and prone to leaking. Inspect the frame and swingarm for surface corrosion or pitting, as stationary bikes in damp environments can suffer structural oxidation despite low use. Verify that the battery holds a charge and that the tyres, while potentially showing deep tread, are not past their date stamp. The lack of MOT defects is positive, but the inactivity pattern necessitates a thorough check of all fluid conditions and rubber components.
