2007 Yamaha CS50 0.0L Petrol · YC57 KXW

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a pattern of reactive rather than preventative care. The most recent test conducted on 20 May 2025 at 1,171 miles noted that front brake pads were reaching the minimum legal limit. This follows a history of a 2014 failure where a rear tyre was worn close to the limit, suggesting that components are only addressed once they approach failure or inspection thresholds. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nineteen-year-old machine, averaging a mere 62 miles per year to reach the total of 1,171 miles. There is a significant eight-year gap between the February 2017 and May 2025 tests where the mileage remained static at 1,171. This suggests the vehicle sits for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown regardless of the low distance covered. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the tyres, as the record shows recurring issues including cracks in 2015, splitting in 2016, and damaged valve stems in 2017. These faults indicate the rubber is likely suffering from age-related dry rot rather than tread wear. Additionally, the rear shock absorber flagged for reduced damping in 2016 needs to be checked for fluid leaks or perished seals to ensure the suspension remains stable after such long periods of inactivity.
