2004 Yamaha YZ 250 0.3L Petrol · WJ53 BMZ

The 2026-02-16 MOT at 471 miles passed without failure, confirming current roadworthiness and indicating a stable maintenance trend despite the vehicle’s 22‑year age. The mileage of 471 miles over 22 years equates to about 21 miles per year, showing that the bike has been largely stationary; the gap between the 2017-07-01 test at 235 miles and the 2026-02-16 test represents an addition of 236 miles, a modest increase consistent with infrequent use, while earlier records show 0 miles at the 2012-05-04 test and 235 miles at the 2017 test, confirming a pattern of low annual mileage. A buyer should therefore inspect the rear wheel bearings for the slight free play noted in the 2013-04-19 test, examine the exhaust for the noisy condition recorded in 2012-05-04 and 2017-07-01, verify that the speedometer functions correctly, check suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or binding, assess brake calipers for binding and brake discs for corrosion, and look for structural rust on the frame and sub‑frames, as well as ensure all required lights are fitted and operational.
