2014 Yamaha YBR 0.1L Petrol · FH14 HCD

The Yamaha YBR presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 19 August 2025 at 12,806 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the preceding pass on 31 January 2023 at 12,676 miles also showed a clean sheet. The failed entry logged on 31 January 2023 at the same mileage and with no defects recorded points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, as the same day produced a passing certificate. The odometer traces a low-use pattern consistent with the bike's 2014 build. From the 19 February 2022 test at 12,503 miles, the machine covered just 173 miles to the January 2023 examination and only 130 miles further by the August 2025 test. Over roughly twelve years this equates to about 1,067 miles per year. Such limited annual accumulation suggests extended standing periods, though the sparse, clean record gives no evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection focused on corrosion and perished rubber, since long idle spells accelerate tyre sidewall cracking, brake hose degradation, and suspension bush hardening without showing in MOT advisories. The absence of any flagged brake discs, calipers, or structural integrity concerns across the four entries implies no recurring mechanical trend, but standing moisture exposure can hide surface rust on the frame and exhaust until ridden regularly. Given the clean history and minimal mileage, the YBR reads as a lightly used commuter with no recorded structural or mechanical risks. Verify in person that the chain, sprockets, and fork seals have not dried out from disuse, and confirm the January 2023 failure was clerical before purchase.
