2010 Yamaha 0.1L Petrol · CY10 OFT

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, passing its most recent inspection in March 2024. While the vehicle failed that specific test at 18,012 miles due to minor electrical faults involving a non-functional horn and position lamp, these issues were rectified immediately to achieve a pass. The history shows no recurring mechanical failures or advisories across the previous three years, suggesting the primary mechanical components have remained within acceptable tolerances despite the age. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 16-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,126 miles per year. Between February 2022 at 17,733 miles and March 2024 at 18,012 miles, the vehicle covered only 279 miles over two years. This pattern indicates the vehicle has spent significant periods in a stationary state. While low mileage typically reduces wear on the drivetrain and brake pads, it increases the risk of age-related degradation, fluid contamination, and internal corrosion due to lack of regular use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by low-mileage storage rather than mechanical wear. Check for seized brake calipers, perished rubber lines, and dry-rotted tyres which often occur when a vehicle sits for long intervals. Given the time gap between tests and the age of the de-registered components, inspect the structural integrity of the frame and forks for surface rust, particularly in moisture-accumulating areas. Ensure the electrical system remains reliable, as the 2024 failure indicates that wiring or bulb housings may be susceptible to failure over time.
