2008 Yamaha TDR125 0.1L Petrol · AM57 SXA

The vehicle is currently in a non-roadworthy state following a failure in November 2025. While it maintained a clean record between 2022 and 2023, the most recent inspection at 24,126 miles indicates a shift toward worsening maintenance standards. The failure due to a seriously fluid leaking nearside front shock absorber and critical brake wear suggests that essential safety-related items are being neglected rather than replaced during service intervals. At 24,126 miles over 18 years, the motorcycle averages only approximately 1,340 miles per year. This low usage profile suggests the bike has sat stationary for long periods, which often accounts for the degradation of rubber components and internal corrosion despite low mileage. Between the October 2024 test at 22,156 miles and the November 2025 failure, the vehicle covered fewer 2,000 miles. Despite this minimal travel, the braking system reached the point of failure and the shock absorber suffered a seal failure. A buyer must prioritize an inspection of the braking system, as the record shows a clear trend of neglect. The rear brake disc was flagged as worn and pitted in 2024, then became significantly worn and lipped by 2025, while the front pads also reached the minimum limit. This indicates the previous owner failed to address brake components before they became safety hazards. The front shock absorber requires immediate replacement, as a serious fluid leak compromises the handling and stability of the front-end. The drive chain has been noted as worn in both 2024 and 2025, suggesting it is nearing the end of its functional life. The buyer should also verify the headlamp alignment, which failed in the latest test. Given the low annual mileage and the age of the machine, a thorough check for seized calipers, perished fuel lines, and internal corrosion is essential, as these are common issues for vehicles that are used infrequently.
