2013 Yamaha MT 0.8L Petrol · DG63 AZD

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-07-03 confirms it remains roadworthy, with no defects or advisories recorded at 7,982 miles . This represents a stable maintenance trend over the past three years, as all preceding tests—including the 2024-06-13 retest—also passed without failings. The absence of recurring advisories or defects suggests the vehicle has been subjected to consistent, if minimal, mechanical oversight. However, the 2024-06-13 failure (despite passing the same day) is anomalous and warrants scrutiny, though no specific faults were logged, leaving the cause speculative. The recorded mileage of 7,982 miles over 13 years —roughly 614 miles per annum —indicates exceptionally light usage, which could imply prolonged periods of storage or infrequent operation. This low mileage is atypical for a vehicle of this age, as it typically correlates with higher wear on components like suspension bushes, brake pads, and fuel system seals. The most significant mileage jump occurred between 2022-06-29 (5,181 miles) and 2023-06-12 (5,817 miles) , a 636-mile increase in a year , which may reflect a brief period of heavier use. Beyond this, the mileage increments are negligible, suggesting the vehicle has spent most of its life either stationary or driven sporadically. Given the lack of documented faults, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of suspension components , particularly the rear bushes and coil springs , given the low mileage and potential for degradation from prolonged immobility. The brake system —though never failed—should be examined for corrosion or binding calipers , especially if the vehicle has been stored in damp conditions. Exhaust emissions were not flagged, but a visual check for leaks or rusted sections is advisable, as emissions systems can deteriorate without use. Finally, structural integrity , particularly around the subframe and wheel arches , should be assessed for hidden corrosion , as low-mileage vehicles often develop rust from environmental exposure rather than mechanical stress. The tyres , despite no MOT failures, may require inspection for uneven wear or age-related cracking , as they could have been neglected during periods of disuse.
