2012 Yamaha YBR 125 0.1L Petrol · SY12 AWW

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2022-07-28 at 20,655 miles recorded a pass with no defects, but no subsequent tests have been conducted despite the current date of 2026-07-19. This four-year gap raises concerns about unverified maintenance and potential deterioration of components not covered by the MOT, such as the engine, transmission, and electrical systems. The prior test on 2022-07-09 at the same mileage also showed a pass, though the DVSA system notes a fail with no defects recorded—likely an administrative error. Overall, the maintenance trend lacks recent data, making it impossible to confirm ongoing roadworthiness. Mileage progression shows a steady increase from 11,968 miles in 2019 to 20,655 by 2022, averaging 1,475 miles annually. This low usage suggests infrequent operation, which can lead to issues like battery drain, seized brake calipers, or degraded rubber components. Notably, the 2021-07-19 test at 16,632 miles and 2020-07-27 at 13,261 miles both passed without defects, indicating consistent compliance up to that point. However, the absence of tests between 2022 and 2026 creates a void in assessing wear on consumables like tyres, brake pads, or suspension bushes, which degrade over time regardless of mileage. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the engine for carbon buildup, clutch wear, and coolant leaks, as prolonged inactivity can exacerbate these issues. The suspension system, including coil springs and shock absorbers, should be checked for stiffness or sagging, while the electrical system—particularly the battery and wiring—requires testing for corrosion or failure. Structural integrity remains unverified due to the lack of recent MOTs, so a professional mechanic’s assessment is essential to confirm the bike’s mechanical soundness and identify any hidden deterioration from extended storage.
