2017 Yamaha GPD125-A Nmax 125 ABS 0.1L Petrol · YS17 ACZ

This Yamaha NMAX 125 ABS shows a consistently clean MOT history with no defects recorded across five consecutive tests, most recently passing on 20 June 2025 at 31,483 miles. The absence of advisories or failings suggests the vehicle has been maintained to a standard that meets DVSA’s current roadworthiness thresholds, though the most recent test occurred just over a year ago—nearly two months past the standard 12-month interval. While this indicates no immediate cause for concern, a buyer should verify whether the vehicle has undergone any interim servicing beyond the MOT requirements, particularly for components like brake fluid, suspension lubrication, and chain tension, which are not routinely checked during an MOT. The recorded mileage of 31,483 miles over nine years—approximately 3,500 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, implying either infrequent use or prolonged periods of storage. There are no gaps in the MOT record that would suggest the bike was off the road for extended periods, but the steady accumulation of just over 4,000 miles between tests (as seen between 2021 and 2025) suggests it has not been subjected to heavy or varied riding conditions. This could mean reduced wear on high-stress components like the drivetrain or suspension, but it also raises questions about whether critical fluids (e.g., brake fluid, engine oil) have been changed according to the manufacturer’s service intervals rather than the mileage-based schedule. Given the lack of recorded defects, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should be on consumables and wear items that are not MOT-tested. The brakes, despite passing, warrant close examination for uneven pad wear or glazing, as ABS systems can mask subtle binding or caliper issues until they become pronounced. The suspension bushes and coil springs, while unlikely to have failed given the low mileage, should be checked for perishing or excessive play, particularly if the bike has been stored in damp conditions. The chain and sprocket require inspection for stretch and lubrication, as a low-mileage bike may have accumulated rust or corrosion if not regularly used. Finally, the frame and fuel tank should be scrutinised for signs of corrosion, especially if the bike has spent time in coastal or high-humidity environments.
