2018 Yamaha WR 0.3L Petrol · DX18 CVB

The vehicle remains roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a consistent trend of deferred consumable replacement despite extremely low usage. The most recent test in November 2025 at 1,375 miles identified new issues including a slight oil leak from the rocker cover and a slightly loose drive chain. While the bike passed, the recurring nature of the mechanical advisories suggests that components are only addressed when they approach legal limits rather than being maintained preventatively. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eight-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 172 miles per year. There is a significant discrepancy in data between the March 2021 test at 1,838 miles and the July 2022 test at 1,258 miles, which indicates either a recording error or an odometer rollback. The low mileage suggests the vehicle likely sat for long periods. Such long-term storage often leads to degradation of rubber components, fluid breakdown, and seal drying that low mileage alone does not prevent. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the front brake system, which has been flagged as being close to the minimum limit in every recorded test since 2021. The front shock absorbers show a persistent history of oil misting dating back to 2021, which indicates the fork seals are failing and may soon require replacement. The newly reported rocker cover leak in late 2025 needs close monitoring to ensure it is not contaminating the rear tyre. Additionally, the drive chain should be checked for tension and and rust, as low-use chains are prone to surface corrosion when stationary.
