1990 Yamaha RXS100 0.1L Petrol · H858 REO

The Yamaha RXS100 meets current roadworthiness standards. The most recent MOT on 23 April 2026 recorded 18,634 miles and returned a pass with no recorded defects. The preceding test on 1 May 2025 also passed cleanly at 18,467 miles. The earlier failure in April 2013, which involved direction indicators, front wheel bearings and tyre damage, has not reappeared. This indicates a stable maintenance trend, with the vehicle showing no recurring faults in the last three years. Mileage accumulation remains modest for a 36‑year‑old machine. Between the 2023 test (18,184 miles) and the 2025 test (18,467 miles) the odometer advanced only 283 miles over roughly 1.8 years, and the increase from 2025 to 2026 is just 167 miles. This averages around 500 miles per year, indicating light use or prolonged periods of storage. The MOT intervals are consistent, with test dates spaced roughly 10‑12 months apart, and the mileage increments between successive tests rarely exceed 300 miles. A buyer should inspect the front wheel bearing assembly for excessive play or roughness, as the 2013 failure and the 2012 advisory both flagged this area. Tyre condition is another priority; the 2013 records note a cracked rear tyre and a cut front tyre, so a visual check for cracks, cuts, and tread depth is essential. The direction indicator circuit should be tested, given the 2013 failure, and the suspension bushes inspected for wear. Finally, despite the low mileage, the vehicle’s age warrants a thorough examination for corrosion, rust on the frame and chassis, and the condition of aged rubber components such as hoses and seals.
