2014 Yamaha MT 0.7L Petrol · RO64 XUJ

The vehicle currently holds a valid MOT following a pass on 10 February 2026 at 44,548 miles. The maintenance trend appears inconsistent, showing a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test at 44,548 miles followed a failure just one day prior, where the tester flagged an incorrect headlamp beam aim and a front tyre with tread depth below the 1.0mm legal minimum. This indicates that basic consumable maintenance, specifically regarding lighting alignment and tyre replacement, was neglected until the point of inspection. The mileage profile suggests light annual usage, averaging approximately 3,712 miles per year over its twelve-year lifespan. While the 44,548 miles recorded in February 2026 is low for a 2014 model, the data shows periods of significant inactivity. For example, the vehicle covered only 5,240 miles between November 2020 and March 2022. This low-use pattern can often lead to component degradation from sitting idle, such as perished rubber seals or seized parts, despite the lower mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A prospective buyer should conduct a thorough physical inspection of the front suspension and braking components. The March 2022 test recorded light oil misting on both front shock absorbers, and while no subsequent failures were noted, the condition of the seals should be verified. The September 2024 test highlighted several issues, including a distorted front wheel bead rim, front brake pads nearing the minimum limit, and a noisy exhaust. Given that the exhaust was also flagged as noisy in September 2018, the structural integrity of the exhaust system and its mounting points warrants close scrutiny. Finally, the recurring advisories regarding tyre tread depth and brake wear suggest the previous owner tended to run consumables to their absolute limits. The distorted wheel rim noted in 2024 indicates a previous impact or significant pothole damage, so the wheel's balance and the integrity of the rim should be checked to prevent future vibration or air leaks. The recent failure regarding headlamp aim suggests that while the immediate mechanical issues were resolved for the February 2026 pass, the electrical and lighting setup requires careful verification.
