2017 Yamaha MT 0.1L Petrol · YP17 GXG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass in January 2025 at 14,432 miles. The maintenance trend shows a significant improvement after a major mechanical failure just one day prior. While the January 2025 test at 14,399 miles revealed multiple critical defects across the drivetrain and braking systems, the subsequent pass twenty-four hours later indicates the owner addressed these specific faults immediately to bring the motorcycle back to legal standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,600 miles per year. There are long gaps in usage between the May 2022 test at 3,451 miles and the January 2024 test at 4,759 miles, where the bike sat for over 1,300 miles in two years. This low mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the engine and gearbox, but it increases the risk associated with flat-spotted tyres, seized seals, and the degradation of rubber components due to long periods of inactivity. A prospective buyer must focus their physical inspection on the drivetrain and braking hardware. The 2025 failure highlighted a worn front sprocket with broken teeth, an excessively tight drive chain, and an incorrectly fitted locking device, meaning the entire chain and sprocket kit likely required replacement recently. The record also noted rear brake pads near the minimum limit and fluctuations in front brake effort, which warrants a check for warped disc rotors or sticking caliper pistons. Given the low mileage, verify the age of the tyres for cracking and ensure the fork seals have not perished from lack of use.
