Yamaha Mwd 300 Tricity 300 (2021)
2021 Yamaha Mwd 300 Tricity 300
CarHunch analysed 131 real MOT records for the 2021 Yamaha Mwd 300 Tricity 300. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2021 Yamaha Tricity 300 posts an 80.8% first-time pass rate, marginally ahead of the UK average of 80%, suggesting reliable baseline engineering with very few dangerous defects recorded at just 4.6% of vehicles. This three-wheeler handles MOT testing about as well as most vehicles on the road, with no meaningful reliability concerns flagged by the data.
At 9,596 miles average for a three-year-old machine, these Triaxis have been ridden fairly lightly, which partially explains the low failure rate of 0.12 per vehicle and modest advisory count of 0.6—typical wear items rather than systemic problems. If you're considering one, prioritise a pre-purchase inspection of brake components and tyre condition, as these tend to accumulate the advisories on three-wheelers, but the overall picture is one of sound dependability.
What to check before buying a 2021 Yamaha Mwd 300 Tricity 300
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
