The most common problems on the Yamaha Yn 50 Neo's are stop lamp does not illuminate immediately a brake applies (122 recorded failures), brake pad(s) less than 1.5 mm thick (100), and exhaust is leaking and excessively noisey (62). These are the faults most likely to cause an MOT failure on this model, so check for them carefully on any test drive or pre-purchase inspection.

A typical Yamaha Yn 50 Neo's owner drives around 992 miles per year. If the car you're looking at is significantly above this, expect more wear on suspension, brakes and tyres. If it's well below, the vehicle may have been sitting unused — check for perished rubber, corroded discs and stale fluids.

Before committing to a purchase, we recommend running a full vehicle history check on the specific car. This will reveal any outstanding finance, stolen markers, write-off history and mileage discrepancies that the seller may not disclose — and that the MOT data alone can't tell you.
