2016 Yamaha YBR 0.1L Petrol · FP66 TNE

The 2016 Yamaha YBR has recently undergone an MOT test on 13 January 2026, resulting in a failed outcome due to a deformed but serviceable handlebar and a worn but not excessive drive chain, alongside a headlamp aim too high. This outcome, following a clean pass at the same mileage just hours earlier, suggests an inconsistent maintenance trend. The tester flagged binding rear brakes in the previous test, which has not been addressed, indicating a worsening trend in mechanical condition. The recorded mileage of 9,501 miles, accumulated over approximately 10 years, is remarkably low, suggesting either light use or extended periods of inactivity. The lack of notable gaps in the mileage pattern, with a steady annual accumulation of roughly 950 miles, implies consistent ownership or use. However, the sparse data from 2020 to 2022, with only one recorded test in August 2022, warrants closer examination by a potential buyer. A buyer should inspect the vehicle's structural integrity, particularly the rear brakes, to assess the severity of the binding condition flagged in previous tests. The worn drive chain, while not considered excessive, should be examined for signs of further wear or potential failure. Additionally, the deformed but serviceable handlebar may be a cosmetic issue, but its condition should be evaluated for any signs of damage or weakness. The headlamp aim, which was too high in the recent test, should also be checked to ensure proper alignment and functionality.
