YAMAHA 1987 · 0.1L Petrol

The 1987 Yamaha presents as roadworthy following a clean pass on 7 April 2026 at 35,481 miles, with the maintenance trend appearing stable across its recent history. The most recent test recorded no defects, and the prior pass on 14 December 2021 also showed a clear sheet, indicating no ongoing mechanical or structural concerns flagged by DVSA testers. The odometer shows just 28 miles accumulated between the December 2021 and April 2026 tests, reflecting roughly 910 miles per year across the vehicle's 39-year life. A failed test on 13 September 2021 at 35,453 miles listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, with the same mileage and a pass achieved three months later. The record is sparse and clean, showing no advisories on suspension bushes, brake discs, corrosion, or exhaust emissions across the available entries. Given the low mileage and four-year lay-up between tests, a buyer should physically inspect for perished rubber components, seized calipers, and standing-water corrosion on the frame and exhaust. The long dormant period raises risk of tyre sidewall cracking and flat-spotted wheels despite the clean MOT sheet. Confirm the absence of structural rust at outriggers and check fork seals for weeping, as these items fall outside MOT scope yet degrade on inactive machines. The history implies a lightly used, well-preserved example, but in-person verification of consumables remains essential before purchase.
