2012 Yamaha YP400 0.4L Petrol · PO62 AAJ

The roadworthiness status of this Yamaha is currently sound, supported by an uninterrupted sequence of clean passes over the past three test cycles. The most recent examination on the first of April 2026 at twenty-eight thousand six hundred and fifty-four miles yielded no defects, mirroring the flawless certificates issued in March 2025 and March 2024. A singular failure occurred on the seventh of March 2024 without any recorded defects, though this was rectified swiftly when the machine passed retesting a week later on the fourteenth of March 2024. This maintenance trend reflects a stable operational condition in the near history, devoid of lingering advisory items or structural degradation. Low mileage accumulation defines the structural life of this fourteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately two thousand and forty-seven miles annually to reach a total of twenty-eight thousand six hundred and fifty-four miles. Testing intervals demonstrate consistent annual presentation, beginning with a clear pass on the twenty-fifth of March 2023 and continuing through the subsequent spring examinations of 2024, 2025, and 2026. This limited usage pattern indicates lighter overall wear across primary drivetrain components, though extended periods of non-use can occasionally mask latent mechanical concerns. Physical inspection should focus heavily on consumable items and rubber components that degrade through age rather than high mileage. The braking system, suspension fork seals, and final drive components require careful manual scrutiny during an in-person viewing, as MOT testers examine only baseline functionality and road safety parameters. Buyers must verify the condition of the tyres, wheel bearings, and steering head bearings to ensure that the low annual mileage has not resulted in perished rubber or stagnant fluid degradation within the hydraulic circuits.
