If you own or are considering buying a 2006 Yamaha Quad, you can expect reliable MOT performance overall. Before your MOT, pay particular attention to road wheels: Visually inspect wheels for cracks, especially around the spokes and rim. Check that all wheel nuts are present and tightened.

Road Wheels — 1.5% of failures
Road Wheels issues account for 1.5% of MOT failures on 2006 Yamaha Quad models. Wheel failures include cracked or severely corroded alloy wheels, missing or loose wheel nuts, and wheels that are insecurely attached. These are safety-critical and relatively rare compared to tyre failures. Typical repair costs: £100–400 per wheel. Pre-MOT check: Visually inspect wheels for cracks, especially around the spokes and rim. Check that all wheel nuts are present and tightened. Look for signs of impact damage on alloy wheels.
Suspension — 1.5% of failures
Suspension issues account for 1.5% of MOT failures on 2006 Yamaha Quad models. Suspension failures typically involve worn bushes, leaking shock absorbers, broken coil springs, and damaged suspension arms. These affect ride quality, tyre wear, and road holding. Typical repair costs: £200–500. Pre-MOT check: Look for uneven tyre wear, listen for clunking over bumps, and check if the car pulls to one side. A bouncy ride suggests worn shock absorbers. Visually inspect coil springs for cracks.
Steering — 0.7% of failures
Steering issues account for 0.7% of MOT failures on 2006 Yamaha Quad models. Steering failures include excessive play in the steering wheel, leaking power steering fluid, worn track rod ends, and damaged steering rack. These affect vehicle control and are closely related to suspension wear. Typical repair costs: £150–600. Pre-MOT check: Check for excessive steering wheel play (more than a few inches of free movement). Listen for whining from the power steering pump. Look for fluid leaks under the car near the front wheels.
