2010 Yamaha 0.1L Petrol · PN10 BKA

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently compromised, showing a trend of worsening mechanical neglect despite low usage. While it passed in early 2022, the most recent test in February 2023 at 464 miles resulted in multiple critical failures. The tester identified a front wheel bearing with excessive play likely to break up and a serious fluid leak from the nearside front shock absorber. These failures indicate that when the vehicle is used, essential safety components are allowed to deteriorate beyond safe limits without intervention. The mileage history is highly irregular, suggesting the vehicle spent long periods in storage. The record shows 20,107 miles in November 2019, but the figure dropped to just 2 miles by March 2021 and reached 464 miles by February 2023. This average of roughly 30 miles per year over sixteen years is extremely low and often leads to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluids. The long gaps between uses likely correlate with the instances of corrosion and component failure noted in the later inspections. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and wheel assembly. The nearside front shock absorber has progressed from light misting in 2022 to a serious leak in 2023, requiring replacement. The front wheel bearing remains a significant safety risk that needs immediate attention. Additionally, the drive chain and sprocket were flagged as dangerously worn in 2021, and the recurring issues with binding brakes and low pad life.
