2012 Yamaha YBR 125 0.1L Petrol · SY12 AWU

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, though the record indicates a pattern of inconsistency in testing preparation. The most recent test on 12 May 2025 at 10,947 miles resulted in a failure with no recorded defects, suggesting the bike was not presented prepared for inspection. This follows a clean pass in December 2023 at 10,896 miles, indicating that the mechanical components remain sound when the vehicle is maintained to passing standards. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a fourteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging only approximately 782 miles per year. There is a significant three-year gap between the January 2019 test at 10,354 miles and the June 2022 test at 10,356 miles, where only two miles were recorded in that interval. Such low usage, followed by rapid mileage accumulation between 2022 and 2025, suggests the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid-related rather than mileage-related wear. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on components affected by long storage rather than mechanical use. While the MOT history shows no structural rust or brake failures, the low mileage necessitates a close check of perished tyres, seized brake calipers, and degraded fuel lines. Inspect the fork seals for signs of leaking and ensure the drive chain is not dry or corroded from periods of inactivity. Given the age of the bike, the integrity of the frame and swingarm should also be verified for surface corrosion that may have developed during the long gaps between recorded tests.
