2019 Yamaha MT-09 SP 0.8L Petrol · SV69 PCY

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift from perfect records to emerging component wear. While the test in March 2026 at 22,968 miles passed, the tester flagged advisories for the rear brake disc being pitted and scored, alongside a slight fluctuation in brake effort. This suggests that while the bike is safe for the road, the braking components are now reaching the end of their effective service life and require attention. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 3,280 miles annually. There is a significant gap in the records between October 2022 at 7,064 miles and March 2024 at 18,072 miles, where the bike covered over 11,000 miles in just 17 months. This burst of use explains the appearance of a worn drive chain noted in the March 2025 test, as the vehicle transitioned from long periods of low use to much higher-intensity operation. A prospective buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the rear braking system to determine if the pitting on the disc is merely surface corrosion from standing or deeper structural thinning. The reported fluctuation in brake effort also warrants a check for sticking calipers or air in the hydraulic lines. Given the previous advisory for chain wear in 2025, the current drivetrain should be inspected for stretch and sprocket wear to ensure the low annual mileage has not masked neglected maintenance during the longer periods of inactivity.
