1985 Yamaha YB100 0.1L Petrol · C73 GGH

The Yamaha YB100 exhibits a stable and exemplary roadworthiness trend, having secured three consecutive passes without a single recorded defect or advisory. The most recent examination on 9 October 2024 at 15,719 miles confirms that the motorcycle remains in a compliant state. This clean history suggests that the machine has been maintained to a high standard, with no recurring mechanical or structural failures reported across the last three years of testing. The recorded mileage of 15,719 miles over a forty-one-year lifespan indicates a low-usage profile, averaging approximately 383 miles per annum. The progression between the 2022, 2023, and 2024 tests shows consistent, light annual use rather than long-term abandonment. While these figures are modest, the lack of mileage accumulation can sometimes lead to issues with fuel system degradation or perished rubber components, which may not always be captured during a standard MOT inspection. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that suffer from age-related deterioration rather than high-mileage wear. Examine the fuel tank for internal corrosion, check the integrity of all rubber hoses and seals, and inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking, as these items often degrade on low-mileage machines regardless of the MOT pass status. Given the age of the motorcycle, verify the condition of the frame for any hidden structural rust and ensure the electrical system operates reliably, as these areas fall outside the scope of the basic test but are critical for the long-term viability of a vintage two-stroke engine.
