Our Verdict
This Yamaha UNKNOWN presents a mixed proposition. While its MOT history shows consistent passing with no defects in the last four tests, the 2022 failure (despite 'no defects recorded') raises questions. Its extremely low mileage suggests potential storage-related issues, but the lack of model-specific reliability data means buyers should proceed cautiously.
Prioritise a thorough mechanical inspection to assess storage-related wear, particularly on rubber components and the electrical system. Verify service history to confirm maintenance consistency - the low mileage may indicate infrequent use. Negotiate based on the vehicle's unusual mileage and lack of model-specific reliability benchmarks. Be cautious of potential hidden issues from prolonged inactivity, even though MOT tests show no defects.
Fuel economy for a 700cc petrol engine is likely efficient, though specific figures aren't available. Tax band would depend on emissions, but 2016 models typically fall in lower bands. Insurance group is unknown without model specifics. Maintenance costs may be higher due to potential storage-related repairs, with estimated annual running costs likely £800-£1,200 depending on usage.
Focus on storage-related wear: check battery health, tyre condition, and brake rotor corrosion. Inspect electrical systems for faults from prolonged inactivity. Verify that the 2022 MOT failure wasn't a false negative by reviewing detailed test records. Assess engine oil condition and look for signs of coolant leaks, which can be problematic in low-mileage vehicles. Check for proper fluid levels and freshness.
The 2016 Yamaha UNKNOWN has an otherwise clean MOT history, with no defects recorded in its last four tests. However, its 2,465-mile odometer reading is significantly below average for a 10-year-old vehicle, raising concerns about long-term storage effects. No aggregate reliability data exists for this model, limiting informed decision-making.
No aggregate MOT data available for YAMAHA UNKNOWN, making it difficult to assess inherent reliability trends.
