2013 Yamaha YP400 0.4L Petrol · WP13 LLJ

The Yamaha YP400 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 12 June 2025 at 17,502 miles with no defects recorded. Prior tests in June 2024 and June 2023 also returned passes with no advisories, indicating the machine has remained mechanically sound across the last three examination cycles. The upkeep pattern shows consistency rather than deterioration. At approximately 13 years old, the scooter shows 17,502 recorded miles, equating to roughly 1,346 miles per year. The record reveals light use: 13,301 miles in June 2022, 14,499 by June 2023, 14,924 in June 2024, and 17,502 in June 2025. Annual accumulation stayed under 3,600 miles throughout. A failed test on 10 June 2023 at 14,492 miles listed no defects, suggesting an administrative or presentation issue rather than a mechanical fault, with a clean pass secured ten days later at 14,499 miles. Low mileage over a long lifespan implies extended standing periods, which commonly degrades rubber suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and brake caliper seals through inactivity rather than friction. The DVSA record flags no corrosion, exhaust emissions breaches, or structural integrity concerns across the five entries. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of the front and rear brake discs for pitting from disuse, verify the coil springs and linkage bushes for perishing, and confirm the exhaust system remains free of internal rust. The clean MOT history supports a sound purchase, but dormant storage demands hands-on checks the certificate cannot capture.
