2012 Yamaha WR 125 X 0.1L Petrol · PK62 ACX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive repairs rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in May 2026 at 35,218 miles passed, it still flagged a missing chain guard, a defect that had persisted since at least 2025. The trend shows inconsistent mechanical attention, with multiple failures due to lighting, electrical, and drivetrain issues, suggesting that the owner only addresses faults once they become necessary to pass the annual test. At 35,218 miles, the motorcycle shows low mileage for its fourteen-year age, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. The data indicates significant gaps in use, such as the two-year period between October 2018 and May 2020 where mileage only increased by 1,363 miles. This low frequency of operation often correlates with degradation of rubber-based components, as evidenced by the 2016 failure where the tester found perished tyres and oil-related misting on the front shock absorber stanchions despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must specifically inspect the drivetrain and suspension components. The drive chain and sprockets are a recurring failure point, showing signs of excessive wear and loosening in 2021, 2023, and 2025. The steering headbearing was noted with free play in 2023, which requires a check to ensure the bearings have not perished. Additionally, the braking system has a history of binding calipers and thin pads, necessitating a physical inspection of the rear disc for deep scoring or uneven wear to ensure the system remains reliable beyond the basic MOT requirements.
