2022 Yamaha Delight 125 (lts 125-C) 0.1L Petrol · AP71 DVO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but demonstrates a concerning pattern of reactive maintenance rather than proactive servicing. While the most recent MOT on 7 January 2026 at 17,157 miles resulted in a pass, it followed a failure that same day for electrical and steering issues. The steering headbearing remains a persistent defect, appearing in both the 2025 and 2026 records, indicating that the component has not been replaced despite repeated failures. At 17,157 miles over four years, the Yamaha averages approximately 4,289 miles per year, which is relatively low mileage for a commuter scooter. However, the gap between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests shows only 261 miles of travel, suggesting the bike sat stationary for long periods. This low usage combined with the failure for worn brake pads and tyres in early 2025 indicates that basic consumable maintenance was neglected until the MOT test forced attention. A buyer must physically inspect the steering assembly to check for the noted notch, as the reported free play and stiffness in the steering headbearing likely require replacement of the bearings to ensure stable handling. The record also shows a history of failing on basic safety items like the horn and indicators, which suggests that the previous owner only addressed faults when necessary for compliance. Verify the current state of the front brake pads and rear tyre tread, as these were previously at or near legal limits.
