1989 YAMAHA 1.0L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its final recorded test, although the data is now over fifteen years obsolete. The most recent MOT conducted in September 2011 at 36,149 miles passed with no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates that at the time of last inspection, the vehicle met all minimum safety standards, though the lack of any testing since that date means its current mechanical condition is unverified. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 37-year-old machine, averaging approximately 977 miles per year. The record shows a period of minimal use between 2008 and 2011, where the vehicle covered only 3,299 miles over three years. The significant gap in records from 2011 to June 2026 suggests the vehicle may have sat stationary for an extended period. Such long-term inactivity often leads to the degradation of rubber components, perished fuel lines, and internal drying of fluid seals, rather than mechanical wear from high mileage. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity and braking system due to the age and storage history. The 2008 failure regarding the rear stop lamp indicates a previous electrical fault or switch issue that should be checked for ongoing corrosion in the wiring. Given the low mileage and long intervals between tests, you should inspect the frame for structural rust and the brake calipers for seized pistons or perished seals. Tyres and suspension bushes should be examined for cracking and dry rot regardless of the remaining tread depth.
