1987 YAMAHA UNKNOWN0.1L Petrol

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, passing its most recent MOT on 23 July 2025 with 34,529 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, though the record shows a pattern of immediate failures followed by successful passes within very short intervals. In both 2022 and 2025, the vehicle failed just one mile prior to a pass, suggesting that minor compliance issues are identified and addressed immediately, rather than indicating a deep-seated mechanical failure. At approximately 39 years old, the recorded mileage of 34,529 miles is exceptionally low, averaging only about 885 miles per year. There is a significant three-year gap between the June 2022 test and the July 2025 test, during which the vehicle covered only 986 miles. This pattern of intermittent use indicates the machine has likely sat stationary for long periods or is used only for very short-distance leisure trips. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, stationary storage often leads to the degradation of rubber components, fluid acidity, and internal corrosion on braking surfaces. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on components affected by long-term inactivity rather than high-mile wear. Check for perished fuel lines, cracked fork boots, and seized brake calipers which often lock up when not used. Given the age of the vehicle, the brake discs should be inspected for surface pitting or heavy rust from periods of standing. Verify the structural integrity of the frame and mounting points for any hidden corrosion, as the absence of structural advisories in the history suggests the metal remains sound, but age-related oxidation can develop rapidly in areas where moisture accumulates.
