2017 Yamaha YS 125 0.1L Petrol · AV67 FLJ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a clean pass in June 2024 at 4,649 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a period of reactive repair rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test recorded no defects, the failure just three weeks prior in May 2024 revealed a critical rear tyre, a loose drive chain, and wheel alignment issues. This indicates that the previous owner only addressed mechanical faults once they reached the MOT failure threshold. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 517 miles per year. There is a significant three-year gap between the December 2020 test and the May 2023 test, during which the bike covered only 951 miles. This low-use pattern often leads to degradation of rubber-based components and fluid breakdown despite minimal mechanical wear. The rapid accumulation of 1,672 miles between 2023 and 2024 suggests more frequent usage shortly before the recent failure. A buyer must personally inspect the drive chain and sprockets, as the tester flagged them as excessively loose in both 2023 and 2024. The recurring alignment issue suggests a need to check the fork sliders and swingarm bushings for uneven wear. Given the low mileage and long periods of standing, examine the tyres for flat spotting or sidew cracking, as the 2024 failure for 1.0mm tread depth confirms the rubber was neglected until recently replaced. Ensure the alignment was properly addressed during the final pass to prevent premature tyre wear.
