Mechanical Assessment

AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The roadworthiness status of this Yamaha is currently sound, anchored by a clean pass recorded on 2022-08-16 with zero defects noted, representing a stable maintenance trend that immediately resolved a previous failure. This successful test followed an initial refusal on 2022-07-28, though the specific reason for that initial rejection was not logged in the digital record. At approximately thirty-one years of age with a mere 20,415 miles on the odometer, this motorcycle averages roughly 659 miles per annum, representing exceptionally low use for its age. The MOT data history remains sparse, consisting solely of the two tests from July and August 2022, which points to periods of potential storage or lapsed testing cycles typical of classic low-mileage machines. Extended periods of inactivity frequently lead to specific mechanical vulnerabilities that require physical verification during an inspection. A prospective buyer must thoroughly examine the rubber components, including fuel lines, intake manifolds, and tyre sidewalls, for dry rot or perishing caused by long periods of standing. Fuel system cleanliness and carburettor varnish buildup demand careful scrutiny alongside the condition of the brake discs, pads, and hydraulic lines. Finally, check the structural integrity of the frame, exhaust system, and brightwork for signs of corrosion typical of older motorcycles stored in less-than-ideal environments.
