2016 Yamaha GPD 0.1L Petrol · LM16 NHV

The vehicle presents a generally stable maintenance profile, though the most recent MOT entry suggests a slight decline in braking component condition. While the August 2025 test at 71,641 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged a front brake issue indicating a grabbing condition. This follows a period of clean results in 2023 and 2022, suggesting that while the vehicle is being maintained sufficiently to pass inspections, minor mechanical issues are beginning to surface as the components age. The mileage accumulation appears consistent with a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 7,164 miles per year. The records show steady progression from 21,763 miles in June 2019 to 71,641 miles in August 2025. There are no significant gaps in usage that would suggest long periods of neglect or sudden, excessive mileage spikes. The data indicates regular, predictable use, which typically helps prevent issues related to seized components or fuel degradation often seen in vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods. A prospective buyer should focus physical inspections on the braking system. The history shows a recurring pattern of wear in the rear brakes and tyres. In June 2021, the rear pads were close to the minimum limit and the rear tyre was near the legal limit. This trend escalated in June 2022, where the vehicle failed due to rear brake pads being below 1.0mm and the rear tyre tread depth falling below the legal minimum. The most recent 2025 advisory regarding a grabbing front brake suggests the braking system requires closer scrutiny. Beyond the brakes, the 2021 record noted a bent nearside brake lever. Although this did not prevent a pass, it indicates a previous minor impact or tip-over. I recommend checking the overall condition of the lever and ensuring no further damage exists to the control assembly. Given the age and mileage, a thorough check of the tyre tread depths and the condition of the brake discs for scoring or uneven wear is advisable to ensure the recent grabbing issue has been properly addressed.
