2017 Yamaha YBR 0.1L Petrol · CV17 JAO

The Yamaha YBR passed its most recent MOT on 3 February 2023 at 8,855 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it in a nominally roadworthy state. The maintenance trend shows a clean final outcome, though the two prior failures on 20 January and 2 February 2023 at 8,810 and 8,835 miles respectively carry no listed defects, which points to administrative or presentation issues at test rather than a worsening mechanical condition. Recorded mileage sits at 8,855 after roughly nine years, an average of under 1,000 miles per year. The bike covered only 45 miles between the first failure and the pass, confirming extremely light use. Such low annual mileage over a long period suggests the machine spent extended spells idle, a pattern that often hides degraded rubber components, stale fluids, and superficial corrosion rather than high-load drivetrain wear. A buyer should physically verify the suspension bushes, fork seals, and rear shock for perishing linked to standing time. The tester logged no advisories on brake discs, calipers, or structural integrity, but inactive storage can still foster binding calipers and light frame corrosion unseen in a pass result. Given the sparse, defect-free record, in-person checks should target tyre sidewall cracking, chain and sprocket rust, and battery condition. The absence of recurring mechanical faults indicates previous owners avoided serious neglect, yet the gaps in documented use mean a careful visual inspection remains essential before purchase.
