2016 Yamaha NS 0.0L Petrol · BK66 FPL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a September 2025 pass at 13,884 miles, but the maintenance history reveals an inconsistent trend of reactive rather than proactive care. While the most recent test cleared the bike, the preceding failure in May 2025 highlighted multiple critical areas that were only addressed immediately prior. The trend shows improvement only in the immediate term, as the recurring nature of faults suggests components are only replaced upon MOT failure rather than during regular service intervals. At ten years old, the recorded mileage of 13,884 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 1,388 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between November 2022 at 10,812 miles and December 2023, where the bike covered only 161 miles in over a year. This low mileage suggests the vehicle likely spends long periods stationary, which often correlates with the specific issues observed, such as pitted brake discs and seizing in the steering head bearings noted in the test records. A buyer must specifically inspect the steering head bearings, which were flagged as stiff or notchy in both December 2023 and May 2025. This recurring fault indicates internal wear or lack of lubrication likely caused by low use and environmental exposure. The braking system also requires scrutiny; the record shows a history of worn and pitted discs across multiple years, alongside a front brake binding failure in early 2025. Verify that the calipers are free moving and that the discs do not show signs of deep corrosion from sitting.
