2004 Yamaha R6 0.6L Petrol · SP04 CXV

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clean record across its most recent testing cycles. The latest MOT conducted on 31 May 2023 at 23,036 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the motorcycle has maintained a high standard of presentation. This follows consecutive clean passes in 2022 and 2021, suggesting that the mechanical and safety components have remained within operational parameters recently. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,047 miles per year. There is a significant five-year gap between the July 2016 test at 16,644 miles and the April 2021 test at 20,865 miles, suggesting the bike likely sat for extended periods or was used sporadically. The accumulation of only 4,221 miles over those five years confirms the low-use profile, though the failure in April 2021 just twenty miles prior to the next test indicates a minor issue required rectification before the successful pass. A buyer must account for the degradation associated with low-mileage storage rather than mechanical wear. While the record shows no recurring structural corrosion or brake failures, the long intervals between use often lead to perished rubber components, degraded fuel lines, and seized brake calipers. In-person inspection should focus on the condition of the fork seals, the age of the tyres, and any signs of surface rust that may have developed while despite the low odometer reading.
