2009 Yamaha YN 50 F Neos 0.0L Petrol · LJ09 FFG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. While the most recent test on August 28 2025 at 4,716 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure just eight days prior. The trend shows that mechanical issues like brake pad wear and valve stem damage are only addressed when they threaten an MOT, suggesting the owner performs maintenance only when strictly necessary to maintain legal compliance. The recorded mileage of 4,716 miles is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 277 miles per year. The data shows long intervals of minimal use, with only 257 miles covered between August 2024 and August 2025. While this low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it significantly increases the risk of age-related degradation, such as perished rubber components, dried fluids, and internal corrosion that often occurs when a vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer must physically inspect the front braking system, as the pads were flagged as close to the minimum limit in both the August 2025 failure and the subsequent 2025 pass. The recurring reports of damaged front and rear valve stems necessitate a close look at the tyres for dry rot or sidewall cracking. Additionally, the stiff steering headbearing noted in 2023 at 3,817 miles should be re-evaluated to ensure the notchiness has not worsened into a significant bearing failure, despite the low mileage. Given the age and low usage, a thorough check of the fuel system and overall integrity is essential to ensure the bike has not suffered from prolonged storage conditions.
