2016 Yamaha Unknown 0.7L Petrol · YN16 AEG

The vehicle remains roadworthy based on its most recent 2024-06-19 MOT, which confirmed no defects at 2,212 miles. The maintenance trend shows stability over the past four years, with consecutive passes in 2023, 2022, and 2021, despite a single failed test on 2022-06-07 that recorded no defects. This suggests either a procedural error or an isolated anomaly, but no recurring mechanical issues have been documented. The absence of advisories or failures in recent tests indicates the vehicle has been maintained to a standard meeting legal requirements. The mileage of 2,212 miles over 10 years equates to an average of 221 miles annually, significantly below typical usage for a 2016 model. This low accumulation raises questions about storage conditions, as prolonged inactivity can accelerate wear on components like suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs. Notably, the 2022-06-08 test at 1,151 miles and the 2021-05-05 test at 1,021 miles show minimal progression, implying potential gaps in testing frequency or extended periods without use. The MOT history lacks depth, with only five entries spanning 11 years, limiting insight into long-term wear patterns. A physical inspection should prioritise corrosion in hidden areas, such as underbody panels and chassis joints, given the low mileage and age. Suspension components, particularly bushings and shock absorbers, may exhibit dry rot or stiffness from inactivity. Brake systems should be checked for caliper binding or disc warping, as infrequent use can lead to uneven wear. The exhaust system merits scrutiny for internal corrosion, while electrical systems and fluid levels should be verified for freshness. No structural integrity issues are flagged in the record, but the vehicle’s history warrants cautious evaluation of its mechanical condition.
