2003 Yamaha YZ 0.1L Petrol · GX03 GPY

The most recent MOT, conducted on 23 August 2022, passed with zero defects recorded. This clean certificate is now approaching four years old as of June 2026, meaning the vehicle has not been subjected to a roadworthiness assessment since before the current testing cycle began. The maintenance trend across the full history shows a clear pattern of deterioration followed by a temporary recovery. Between February 2022 and May 2022, the bike accumulated serious faults including a leaking front brake cylinder, fuel tap leakage, and a complete absence of lighting. The August 2022 pass suggests those specific items were addressed, but the absence of any subsequent test leaves no verified evidence that the underlying mechanical condition has been maintained. Recorded mileage data is not available for this vehicle, making it impossible to assess whether the fault history correlates with high or low usage. The gap between the January 2021 pass and the February 2022 failure is thirteen months, during which multiple safety-critical defects developed. Without mileage figures, the rate of component wear cannot be contextualised, and the buyer must treat the mechanical condition as unverified beyond the August 2022 test date. A buyer inspecting this machine in person should focus on the components that have historically failed. The front suspension requires close examination, specifically the shock absorber for fluid seepage and the linkage bearings and bushes for play or deterioration. Both front and rear wheel bearings were flagged across separate tests, so any roughness or axial movement during a spin test warrants attention. The front brake caliper and master cylinder should be inspected for fluid residue, and the fuel tap must be checked for leaks under pressure. The horn and rear reflector, while minor, were previously non-compliant and should be confirmed present and functional. Given the age of the current certificate, a fresh MOT or independent inspection is strongly recommended before any purchase.
