2015 Yamasaki YMR50-3D 0.0L Petrol · KX65 AMK

The vehicle presents a concerning roadworthiness status, as the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test in December 2022 at 4,248 miles passed, it followed a series of failures just eleven days prior. The trend shows that mechanical faults are only addressed when they trigger an MOT failure, with recurring issues in the steering and braking systems persisting across multiple testing cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old motorcycle, averaging only about 386 miles per year. There is a significant gap in data between March 2020 at 3,572 miles and December 2021 at 3,831 miles, suggesting the vehicle sat for long periods. Such inactivity often leads to the degradation of rubber components and the seizing of moving parts, which aligns with the various wear-related failures recorded despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the steering and suspension assemblies. The record flags a stiff or notchy steering headbearing in both 2021 and 2022, indicating a component that likely requires replacement. Furthermore, corrosion was noted on the front upper suspension forks and wear on the rear lower suspension bushes in late 2022. These areas should be checked for structural integrity beyond surface rust caused by low use. The braking system requires close scrutiny due to repeated reports of brake effort fluctuation, binding calipers, and excessive caliper travel. The 2021 failure specifically highlighted a rear wheel bearing with play and a loosely tightened rear wheel, suggesting a lack of attention to detail during previous maintenance. Additionally, the distorted bead rim on the front wheel noted in 2021 should be inspected for air leaks or structural deformation that could compromise the tyre's seat.
