Our Verdict
A compelling option for buyers seeking a
Given the very low annual mileage, you should scrutinize the service history to ensure oil changes were performed based on time intervals rather than just mileage. The MOT history shows a tendency to run consumables like tyres and brake pads close to their legal limits; verify the current depth of the tyres and the thickness of the pads to ensure they aren't due for immediate replacement.
Check for any signs of deterioration caused by long periods of inactivity, such as perished rubber seals or battery health. Negotiate based on the age of the tyres if they are original or older than five years, regardless of the remaining tread depth.
Owning a 998cc petrol motorcycle involves higher fuel and insurance costs compared to smaller displacement bikes. This vehicle falls into a higher tax bracket due to its engine size, and insurance premiums will vary significantly based on the rider's experience and location.
Typical maintenance for this model includes periodic chain adjustments and fluid changes. Based on the engine size and age, estimated annual running costs—including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing—are likely to be in the region of £900-£1,300.
Pay close attention to the front tyres and brake pads. These were flagged in 2022, 2023, and 2024, suggesting a pattern of late replacement. Ensure the current set is fresh and not merely 'just legal'.
Inspect the chain and the chain guard. A failure was recorded in September 2023 for an insecure chain guard; ensure this has been properly secured and that the chain shows no signs of excessive wear or rust, which can occur on low-mileage bikes that are not lubricated frequently.
This black 2016 Yamaha MT has covered only 12,970 miles since its first registration in August 2016. The MOT history reveals a recurring pattern of front tyre and brake pad wear between 2022 and 2024, including one failure in September 2023. However, the most recent test in May 2026 was passed with no defects recorded.
