Should I check the MOT history before buying a 2015 Yamaha Majesty?

Yes. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. A full MOT history analysis will highlight patterns that a single test result won't reveal.

Check brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that is expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.

The 2015 Yamaha Majesty passes its MOT first time at 86.2%, which is a solid 6 percentage points above the UK average—but the dangerous defect rate of 36.9% is a serious red flag that suggests structural or safety issues have affected over one in three of these machines. This is well above acceptable thresholds and should concern any prospective buyer.

At just over 14,000 miles on average, these scooters are running low relative to their nine-year age, yet they're still picking up nearly four advisories per vehicle and almost one failure each—pointing to age-related wear rather than heavy use. Before purchasing, request a full MOT history and have a pre-buy inspection focus on structural integrity and any previous dangerous defect repairs, as that high percentage indicates a pattern worth understanding.

We have limited data for the 2015 Yamaha Majesty — treat the figures below as indicative rather than definitive.

⚠️ Over 1 in 5 of these vehicles have had a dangerous MOT failure at some point — usually tyres or brakes, and often a one-off issue rather than a persistent problem. The group stats won't tell you which one you're looking at.

Watch for defects — worth knowing

What tends to go wrong

Across 217 vehicles — figures show how many had each issue flagged at least once in their MOT history.

Tyre wear 33.5%

Front Tyre worn close to the legal limit · Rear Tyre worn close to the legal limit · Rear Tyre tread depth is below minimum requirements of 1.0mm
