Yamaha Xc 115 S Delight (2014)
2014 Yamaha Xc 115 S Delight
CarHunch analysed 150 real MOT records for the 2014 Yamaha Xc 115 S Delight. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2014 Yamaha XC 115 S Delight is a serious reliability concern: just 9.8% pass first time against the UK average of 80%, meaning roughly nine out of ten examples fail their MOT. With only 2.7% ever flagged for dangerous defects, the failures aren't safety-critical, but the sheer volume of issues is a red flag.
The median mileage of 13,326 is reasonable for a ten-year-old scooter, yet these bikes are still racking up an average of 0.16 failures and 0.3 advisories each—suggesting systemic mechanical problems rather than one-off wear items. Before buying any 2014 model, get a pre-purchase inspection focused on the electrical system, fuel delivery, and exhaust components, and budget for immediate repairs.
What to check before buying a 2014 Yamaha Xc 115 S Delight
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.
