1975 Yamaha 0.0L Petrol · HBJ 498N

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass on June 3 2025. This represents an improving trend in maintenance standards after a period of significant neglect in early 2024. While the May 2024 failure revealed multiple critical safety and structural defects, the subsequent pass with no recorded defects indicates that the owner addressed the urgent mechanical repairs required to bring the vehicle back to a legal operating standard. Data regarding mileage is insufficient to establish a usage pattern or a rate of wear relative to the vehicle's age. There is a notable two-year gap between the December 2022 and May 2024 tests, followed by more frequent annual testing. Without specific mileage figures to compare across intervals, it is impossible to determine if the vehicle is being used regularly or if the components are suffering from stagnation and age-related degradation. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking systems given the faults recorded in May 2024. The tester previously flagged an insecure offside shock absorber bolt and a loose landing leg component, which necessitates a check that all mounting points are secure and free of excessive play. Furthermore, the rear under-run device showed signs of impact damage and corrosion in previous tests; the structural integrity of this component should be verified to ensure it has not been further weakened. The heat cracking noted on the front axle brake discs in 2024 was described as not excessive at the time, but these should be inspected for further thinning or deep stress fractures during a physical viewing. Since the vehicle suffered from missing and incorrect reflectors during the 2024 failure, ensure all rear lighting and conspicuity markings are currently present, correctly positioned, and functioning according to regulatory requirements.
