2011 Yamaha XC 125 E Vity 0.1L Petrol · AV11 BNN

A history of intermittent dangerous failures involving critical safety components defines this vehicle's roadworthiness record, despite a clean pass on 6 March 2026. While the most recent two years of testing have been defect-free, the record is punctuated by a dangerous failure in May 2023 due to a seriously weakened front brake disc and a dangerous failure in May 2021 for front tyre tread depth falling below the legal minimum. The recorded mileage of 20,899 miles over a 15-year period represents a low annual average of approximately 1,393 miles. This usage pattern indicates the vehicle has likely undergone long periods of inactivity or very limited use. Mechanically, this often results in reduced wear on the drivetrain but increases the risk of perished rubber seals and the accumulation of corrosion on exposed components that are not regularly cleaned or heat-cycled. Prospective buyers should focus their inspection on the braking system, specifically the front brake disc, given the previous dangerous failure for structural weakness. During a test drive, any vibration through the brake lever or a spongy feel in the pedal should be noted as potential indicators of disc or caliper issues. It is also necessary to verify the current tread depth and the physical condition of the tyres, ensuring there is no evidence of cracking or flat-spotting resulting from the low-mileage usage profile. Further attention should be directed toward the general movement of the vehicle to ensure no binding calipers are present, which can occur when a vehicle stands for extended periods. The buyer should listen for any abnormal grinding or squealing during deceleration and check that the brakes return fully to their resting position. Ensuring the tyres are free from sidewall degradation is critical, as the 2021 failure demonstrates a history of components being run to the limit of their safety margins.
