2011 Yamaha WR 125 0.1L Petrol · YX61 AYZ

The 2011 Yamaha WR 125 demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend based on its most recent MOT on 2026-01-21 at 20,169 miles, which passed with no defects. However, prior failures in 2024-12-14 and 2022-10-13—both without recorded defects—suggest intermittent compliance issues. The absence of specific fault details in these records limits definitive analysis, but the pattern of repeated failures followed by subsequent passes implies potential unresolved mechanical or structural concerns. The latest test’s clean result is encouraging, yet the vehicle’s history warrants closer scrutiny of components likely affected by its low mileage and age. The bike’s recorded mileage of 20,169 miles over 15 years equates to approximately 1,345 miles annually, significantly below average for its age. This low usage could indicate periods of inactivity, increasing risks of corrosion, dry-rotted seals, or degraded suspension components. Notable gaps exist between tests, such as the 18-month interval between the 2021-09-16 pass (15,556 miles) and the 2022-10-13 failure, which may reflect inconsistent maintenance. The sparse defect data in the MOT history further complicates assessing long-term wear trends, particularly for systems like the drivetrain or exhaust that might degrade without regular use. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension for worn bushes or coil springs, as low mileage can mask hidden fatigue. Brake systems, including calipers and discs, require verification for binding or uneven wear, as failures in prior tests may relate to these components. Structural integrity checks are also critical, given the age, to identify rust or fatigue cracks in the frame or chassis. The absence of detailed defect records necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to confirm the vehicle’s mechanical soundness beyond the MOT history.
