2006 Yamaha YZF R1 2006 1.0L Petrol · SF06 PLJ

The vehicle presents a stable and positive roadworthiness profile based on recent testing history. The most recent MOT on 12 April 2025 at 12,795 miles passed with no defects recorded, continuing a clean streak that began in 2023. This follows a brief period of instability in 2022 when the tester flagged a contaminated central front lower brake disc, which was rectified to secure a pass later that month. The absence of advisories or failures over the last three consecutive tests suggests the motorcycle has been maintained to a consistent standard. The mileage profile indicates exceptionally low usage for a 2006 model, averaging roughly 640 miles per year. The records show a very gradual increase from 5,989 miles in 2010 to 12,795 miles in 2025. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the significant gaps between tests, such as the three-year interval between 2019 and 2022, often imply the vehicle spends long periods stationary. Such usage patterns can lead to secondary issues not always captured by MOT inspections. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of rubber components and fluids due to the low annual mileage. Long periods of inactivity can cause tyre sidewall cracking, perished fork seals, and degraded brake fluid or fuel. Although the 2022 brake disc contamination was resolved, a manual check of the braking system, including calipers and pads, is advised to ensure no stiction or corrosion has developed. Given the 2010 report of a noisy rear exhaust, the exhaust system and mounting brackets should also be inspected for structural integrity and secure fitment.
