YAMAHA 1993 · 0.4L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on a history of clean passes with minimal interference. The most recent test on 27 April 2022 at 52,080 miles resulted in a pass following a minor failure just 22 miles prior. That failure was limited to a non-functional front stop lamp, which was rectified immediately. This suggests the owner is attentive to basic electrical safety requirements rather than exhibiting a pattern of mechanical neglect. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 33-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,578 miles per year. There is a significant thirteen-year gap between the July 2008 test at 47,027 miles and the April 2021 test at 48,598 miles. This gap indicates the vehicle spent long periods in storage or stationary use. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid spoilage, regardless of the recorded distance. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the structural integrity and fluid systems due to the long intervals of inactivity. The record shows no historical advisories for corrosion or suspension wear, but the age of the machine makes perished seals, cracked hoses, and dry-rotted tyres likely. Inspect the brake calipers for seizing or pitting, as stationary vehicles often suffer from internal corrosion. Since the last MOT was four years ago, check for deep-seated rust on the chassis and mounting points that may not have been captured during the 2022 inspection.
