2010 Yamaha YZF R6 0.6L Petrol · WM10 AED

The most recent MOT on 22 July 2023 recorded a pass, confirming the bike is road‑worthy at 12 516 miles, but the tester flagged front and rear tyre tread as being close to the legal limit. No new safety‑critical defects appeared, and the earlier stop‑lamp failure from 19 July 2023 was resolved, suggesting a stable maintenance trend with only consumable wear to monitor. Across sixteen years the recorded mileage averages roughly 780 miles per year, an unusually low figure for a sport‑bike of this age. Mileage rose from 2 037 miles in June 2013 to 12 516 miles in July 2023, with increments of 1‑2 thousand miles per year and no sudden spikes, indicating limited riding or long storage periods rather than intensive use. The record shows consistent annual testing and no gaps that would conceal hidden mileage accumulation. A prospective buyer should inspect the tyre tread depth on both wheels and be prepared to replace them promptly, as the MOT notes they are near the minimum legal requirement. Verify that both front and rear stop lamps illuminate correctly, confirming the recent repair. Examine the front shock absorber for any oil seepage, a condition noted in the 17 June 2022 test, and listen for abnormal exhaust noise that may indicate wear. Although no brake faults were recorded, a visual check of brake pads, discs, and caliper operation is prudent, given the low‑mileage usage may mask gradual wear. Finally, scan the frame and swing‑arm for corrosion or structural damage, especially around mounting points, to ensure long‑term integrity.
