2009 Yamaha YZF R1 1.0L Petrol · T111 ABO

The vehicle presents a consistent and stable maintenance profile with no recorded failures or advisories across the available MOT history. The most recent test on 20 May 2025 at 9,453 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating that the vehicle met all statutory requirements without any noted defects. This continuity suggests a well-maintained machine that has avoided the common pitfalls of structural corrosion or mechanical degradation typically seen in older motorcycles. The recorded mileage reflects extremely light usage for a 17-year-old vehicle, averaging only approximately 556 miles per year. The data shows a steady, incremental increase in mileage rather than long periods of total inactivity, moving from 7,691 miles in May 2020 to 9,453 miles in May 2025. This low-mileage profile suggests the bike has been stored in a controlled environment and has not been subject to the heavy wear associated with high-frequency commuting or track use. Because the MOT record is entirely devoid of advisories, there is no evidence of recurring issues with brake pads, tyres, or chain tension. However, the low annual mileage and the age of the motorcycle necessitate a physical inspection of rubber components. Owners should check for perished hoses, aged tyre sidewalls, and perished fork seals, as these items often degrade due to age and standing time rather than mileage. A buyer should also verify the condition of the fuel system and battery health, as long-term storage can lead to fuel degradation or battery sulphation. While the MOT history shows no issues with structural integrity or emissions, a manual check of the frame for any signs of surface oxidation and a thorough inspection of the drive chain and sprockets is recommended to complement the clean digital record.
