2012 Yamaha YBR125 0.1L Petrol · SY12 AWJ

The 2012 Yamaha YBR125 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness status according to the latest DVSA MOT test dated 2 August 2024 at 8,648 miles, which returned a pass with no defects recorded. Prior examinations on 28 October 2022, 30 October 2021, 26 October 2020 and 10 October 2019 each achieved passes without advisories. The maintenance trend is therefore steady and free of escalating faults, though the most recent certificate expired on 1 August 2025 and the vehicle now lacks a current valid MOT relative to today's date of 20 July 2026. Odometer readings climbed from 7,208 miles in October 2019 to 8,648 miles by August 2024, a cumulative gain of 1,440 miles across five years. That averages roughly 290 miles per year, confirming exceptionally light use for a fourteen-year-old machine. A testing gap emerges between the October 2022 pass at 8,313 miles and the August 2024 test, stretching twenty-one months instead of the usual twelve, which implies the motorcycle remained stationary or its owner deferred the examination. The sparse and clean ledger reveals no consumable replacements or mechanical interventions flagged by testers. Previous custodians appear to have preserved the bike with basic diligence, as the archive contains no failures on tyre tread, brake efficiency or structural corrosion and no advisories for minor consumables or serious mechanical risks such as binding calipers. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of age-sensitive components that a pass does not exempt. The MOT examiner checked brake discs for scoring and suspension forks for seal leakage, yet visual confirmation of pitting on calipers or perished rubber remains prudent. The machine met exhaust emissions limits, but catalytic converter and silencer integrity can degrade with intermittent running. Structural integrity of the steel frame and swinging arm demands close scrutiny for superficial rust that low mileage and indoor storage might mask. Tyres manufactured before 2020 may exhibit sidewall cracking despite adequate tread depth. We advise verifying chain tension, sprocket wear and electrical functioning, since the MOT history offers no evidence of neglect but equally no proof of recent servicing beyond statutory tests.
