2015 Yamaha YBR 0.1L Petrol · FD15 JBZ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 9 July 2026 at 10,337 miles. The maintenance trend shows a recent decline in mechanical upkeep, moving from a clean record to multiple advisory items and a failure within the last two years. While the bike passed in June 2025 with only a brake pad advisory, the July 2026 tests revealed several neglected consumables. The tester flagged worn front and rear tyres alongside a loose drive chain, necessitating a failure on 7 July 2026 due to critically thin front brake pads. This 2015 Yamaha YBR has covered 10,337 miles over its eleven-year lifespan, averaging approximately 940 miles per year. This low annual mileage suggests infrequent use, which often leads to component degradation from sitting idle rather than wear from distance. The record shows consistent annual testing between 2019 and 2025, but the mileage jumped from 5,355 in June 2024 to 8,329 in June 2025, and then to 10,337 in July 2026. This indicates a recent increase in usage compared to the previous years of very light operation. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the drivetrain and braking system. The recurring issues with the drive chain and the rapid wear of brake pads and tyres suggest that basic maintenance intervals may have been overlooked during periods of low usage. Check the tension and condition of the drive chain and sprockets to ensure the chain is not stretched or excessively worn. Inspect the brake discs for scoring or deep grooves, as the recent failure of the front pads may have impacted the surface of the discs. The tyres require immediate scrutiny to ensure they are not only within legal tread limits but also free from age-related cracking or sidewall perishing, which is common on low-mileage vehicles. Given the recent advisory for a loose drive chain, verify that the rear sprocket and hub assembly are secure. While the historical records from 2018 to 2024 show no defects, the sudden emergence of multiple consumable faults in 2026 indicates that the vehicle's current maintenance regime requires closer attention.
