2002 Yamaha FZS600 0.6L Petrol · SA02 AEB

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness evidenced by five consecutive clean passes over the last five years. The most recent inspection on 9 June 2026 at 38,032 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, maintaining a perfectly stable maintenance trend. This consistency suggests that the motorcycle has been maintained to a high standard and avoids the mechanical failures or structural neglect typically seen in vehicles of this age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,585 miles per year. Between May 2021 and June 2026, the bike covered only 5,612 miles, with a notable gap of 988 miles recorded between the 2023 and 2024 tests. While this low usage indicates minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between use suggest the vehicle may sit for extended periods, which can lead to degraded rubber components and fluid issues that mileage alone cannot capture. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on age-related degradation associated with low-mileage storage. The buyer should check for perished rubber hoses, fuel lines, and fork seals, as these dry out over time regardless of distance traveled. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion and the tyres for flat spotting or sidew cracking, as the MOT does not fully assess de-aging rubber. Additionally, verify the frame for any signs of hidden surface rust to ensure the structural integrity has not been compromised by a damp storage environment.
