Motorcycle Preparation

Prepared With Care

Every motorcycle and scooter at YesMoto is individually prepared before being offered for sale.

We don't believe every used motorcycle needs exactly the same work. Instead, each motorcycle is assessed on its own condition, mileage, age and service history before any preparation is carried out.

Our aim is simple – to supply motorcycles that are safe, well presented and ready to be enjoyed.

Individual Preparation

Preparation varies depending on the motorcycle and may include:

• Servicing

• Replacement tyres

• Brake maintenance

• General repairs

• Replacement parts where required

• Safety checks

• Road testing where appropriate

• Professional valeting

We use genuine manufacturer parts where appropriate, together with quality aftermarket parts from trusted suppliers when suitable.

Pre-Delivery Inspection

Before collection or delivery, every retail motorcycle receives a structured Pre-Delivery Inspection.

This includes checks of key safety and operating components, including:

• Controls

• Brakes

• Suspension

• Steering

• Tyres

• Electrical systems

• Fluid levels

• Drive system

• General safety items

• Final inspection

This inspection helps ensure every motorcycle is ready for its new owner.

Minimum 6 Months MOT

Every retail motorcycle is supplied with a minimum of 6 months MOT.

If a motorcycle has less than six months remaining at the time of preparation, a fresh MOT is completed before sale where appropriate.

Vehicle History Checks

Every motorcycle is checked before being advertised.

These checks include:

• Outstanding finance

• Insurance write-off status

• Stolen register

• Mileage history

• VIN confirmation

• Engine number

• MOT history

• Vehicle specification

These checks help us provide confidence and transparency when buying a used motorcycle.

Workshop Experience

With over 22 years of motorcycle industry experience, we understand the importance of careful preparation.

Our workshop is dedicated solely to preparing motorcycles sold by YesMoto. We don't carry out servicing or repairs for the general public, allowing us to focus entirely on preparing our own retail stock.

Honest Presentation

Preparation is only part of the process.

Every motorcycle is professionally photographed, with most listings including 50–100 high-quality images and a walkaround video.

Our descriptions include as much information as possible about the motorcycle, including service history, accessories, keys and documentation where available.

Where cosmetic marks are noticed during photography, we aim to show them clearly, helping customers buy with confidence.

Buying With Confidence

Around 90% of our customers purchase remotely, so preparation and presentation are extremely important to us.

By combining careful workshop preparation, detailed photography and honest descriptions, we aim to make buying a used motorcycle online as straightforward and transparent as possible.

If you have any questions about how a particular motorcycle has been prepared, our team will be happy to help.
