Yamaha Ttr 600 Re (2004)
2004 Yamaha Ttr 600 Re
CarHunch analysed 146 real MOT records for the 2004 Yamaha Ttr 600 Re. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2004 Yamaha TTR 600 RE has a first-time MOT pass rate of 65.5%, notably below the UK average of 80%, which suggests these bikes encounter meaningful wear and maintenance issues as they age. The dangerous defect rate of 4.1% is acceptably low, so safety isn't the primary concern—it's the frequency of failures themselves.
At an average mileage of 11,751 for a 20-year-old bike, these are well-used machines, and the 0.98 average failures per test reflects that cumulative wear; advisories averaging 2.7 per vehicle point to routine deterioration in consumables and seals. If you're considering buying one, budget for pre-MOT work and plan to have a trusted mechanic inspect the ignition, electrics, and fuel system before test time.
What to check before buying a 2004 Yamaha Ttr 600 Re
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.
