2023 Yamaha YFM700FWAD ALU SE1 2023 0.7L Petrol · AP72 OSX

This Yamaha YFM700FWAD ALU SE1, tested most recently on 8 February 2026 at just 2,273 miles, holds a clean MOT record with no defects or advisories recorded. The single pass in February 2026 suggests a stable roadworthiness trend, though the absence of prior tests makes it impossible to confirm whether earlier inspections were equally thorough or if minor issues were overlooked. The vehicle’s current MOT status is valid until 7 May 2026, meaning it has been driven for approximately 1,800 miles since the last test—a rate that, while low, does not inherently indicate neglect if the bike has been stored or used sparingly. The recorded mileage of 2,273 miles over roughly three years—approximately 758 miles annually—is exceptionally low for a vehicle of this age. Such minimal usage could imply long periods of storage, which may have mitigated some wear, but it also raises questions about the condition of components prone to static degradation, such as rubber seals, battery health, or fuel system integrity. Without prior MOT data, there is no evidence of rapid mileage accumulation or aggressive driving patterns, but the lack of intermediate tests means potential issues—such as corrosion or suspension degradation—could have developed undetected. Given the sparse MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of critical low-mileage wear items, including the battery (particularly if the bike has been stored), throttle body and fuel lines for moisture or debris, and the condition of rubber components like suspension bushes and seat mounts. The brakes and tyres, though not flagged in the single available test, should be examined for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the bike has been stationary for extended periods. Structural integrity, while less likely to be compromised at this mileage, warrants a visual check for corrosion around the frame, especially in areas prone to moisture accumulation. The absence of advisories in the most recent test does not guarantee future reliability, but it does suggest no immediate cause for concern beyond these basic checks.
