2008 Yamaha YQ50 0.0L Petrol · CV58 JVD

The Yamaha YQ50 passed its most recent MOT on 26 March 2022 at 21,088 miles with no defects recorded, leaving it four years stale relative to today's date of 8 July 2026. The maintenance trend shown by the record is brief and stable, with a single failure followed one week later by a clean pass. No recurring mechanical or structural faults appear across the two entries, so the history alone shows no worsening pattern. The scooter is an 18-year-old 2008 machine showing just 21,088 miles, averaging around 1,172 miles per year. Both MOT entries from March 2022 carry identical mileages of 21,088, confirming the bike had been laid up or barely used in the run-up to testing. The record offers no earlier tests, so long-term wear and corrosion exposure across its life remain undocumented. Low mileage of this sort often masks standing damage such as seized calipers, flat-spotted tyres, and perished seals. A buyer should commission a fresh MOT and physical inspection before purchase. The March 2022 failure with no listed defects suggests an administrative or unrecorded minor fault rather than a hard mechanical reject, but the immediate pass offers little reassurance on current condition after four dormant years. Prior owners clearly stored the machine more than they rode it. Check the brake discs, suspension bushes, and exhaust for corrosion and binding calipers from standing. Inspect tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots. Confirm structural integrity around the frame and floor pan, as eighteen years of age invite hidden rust even where the 2022 test found none.
