Yamaha Fz6 (2007)
2007 Yamaha Fz6
CarHunch analysed 1,078 real MOT records for the 2007 Yamaha Fz6. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2007 Yamaha FZ6 passes its MOT on the first attempt 86.8% of the time, which is a solid 6.8 percentage points above the UK average—this bike is more reliable than most. One in six owners will encounter a dangerous defect at some point, which isn't alarming but worth knowing about during your pre-purchase inspection.
These bikes are running relatively low mileage for their age at around 18,500 miles on average, suggesting they've been genuinely looked after rather than thrashed. Expect roughly 1.4 failures and 4.9 advisories per test cycle on average, so budget for modest maintenance items; have any prospective purchase checked thoroughly by a mechanic, particularly the braking and suspension systems where most failures cluster.
What to check before buying a 2007 Yamaha Fz6
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
