2002 Yamaha R6 0.6L Petrol · YP02 ARZ

This Yamaha R6 currently holds a clean bill of health, with the most recent MOT test on 25 July 2025 resulting in a pass with no recorded defects. The maintenance trend remains exceptionally stable, as the machine has cleared five consecutive annual inspections without a single advisory notice. While the 24 July 2025 failure appears anomalous given the lack of recorded defects, the subsequent pass the following day confirms the vehicle meets current roadworthiness standards. The recorded mileage of 32,684 miles over 24 years indicates a very light usage pattern, averaging approximately 1,362 miles per annum. The data shows consistent, albeit minimal, annual accumulation, with only 793 miles added between the July 2022 test at 31,891 miles and the July 2025 test. This low-mileage history suggests the bike has spent significant periods in storage, which often presents different mechanical risks compared to a high-mileage commuter that receives regular mechanical attention. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the side effects of prolonged inactivity rather than heavy wear. You must check the fuel system for varnish or internal tank corrosion and verify that the carburettors are not suffering from blocked jets due to stale fuel. Inspect the rubber components, including coolant hoses, fork seals, and tyre sidewalls, as these materials perish and crack over two decades regardless of low mileage. Confirm that the brake calipers operate freely and that the fluid has been flushed recently, as stagnant hydraulic systems are prone to internal seizing.
