2017 Yamasaki YM50-8D Unknown 0.0L Petrol · KX17 EBA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass on July 24, 2025, at 2,758 miles, though the maintenance trend shows a recent failure on that same day due to a structural defect in the front tyre. While the most recent test indicates no outstanding defects, the history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than preventative maintenance, suggesting the vehicle is only addressed when it fails legal inspection rather than through a regular schedule. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 306 miles per year. There is a significant four-year gap between the September 2021 and July 2025 tests during which the vehicle covered only 628 miles. This low rate of use suggests the bike sits for long periods, which often explains the recorded issues with seized components, such as the binding front brake and the degraded shock absorbers noted in the early 2021 records. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the suspension and braking system due to recurring mechanical failures. The March 2021 test flagged both the nearside front and central rear shock absorbers for negligible damping, indicating that internal seals have perished despite the low mileage. The September 2021 failure for a binding front brake and a worn drive chain sprocket suggests that the calipers and drive assembly are prone to corrosion and seizing when stationary. Structural integrity and corrosion also require attention. The record shows a 2021 failure for an insecure rear suspension attachment bracket and an advisory for a corroded exhaust. The buyer should inspect the swingarm bolts for deep rust and check the exhaust system for thinning metal. Given the July 2025 failure for a tyre bulge caused by structural separation, all rubber components and tyres must be checked for dry rot and age cracking regardless of the tread depth.
