2014 YAMAHA MT0.1L Petrol

The 2024‑03‑30 MOT at 31,620 miles confirms that the 2014 Yamaha MT remains roadworthy, with only a noisy exhaust (8.1.1 (a)) and a deformed but serviceable handlebar (2.2.1 (c)(i)) recorded as defects. The vehicle has passed every test since 2020 except a single horn failure on 2022‑04‑08, which was corrected before the subsequent inspection, indicating a stable maintenance pattern rather than a worsening trend. Mileage has risen from 10,163 miles in December 2017 to 31,620 miles in March 2024, averaging roughly 2,600 miles per year, which is low for a twelve‑year‑old machine and suggests limited use or extended periods of inactivity. The increase is steady, with the 2022 tests occurring on the same day at 24,665 miles, showing no abrupt jumps or large gaps in the record. A buyer should therefore inspect the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks, examine the front suspension bushes and coil springs for wear, verify the integrity of the steering head and handlebar mounting, and check the rear brakes for binding calipers or worn discs, as these items have been flagged repeatedly. Functional testing of the horn and other electrical components is also advisable, and a visual inspection of the chassis and floor pan is recommended to rule out structural rust despite the absence of recorded defects. Overall, the maintenance history is consistent and the vehicle shows no evidence of major mechanical deterioration, but the recurring exhaust defect and handlebar deformation warrant close verification before purchase.
