2023 Yamaha R125 (yzf 125-A) 0.1L Petrol · DN73 UBZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive servicing. While it passed the most recent test in February 2026 at 19,650 miles, the tester flagged two specific defects: a slightly loose drive chain and rear brake pads approaching the minimum limit. These findings suggest that while the bike remains legal for the road, the owner is only addressing components once they approach failure or require attention. The mileage profile shows a significant acceleration in use over the last year. Between the February 2025 test at 1,999 miles and the February 2026 test at 19,650 miles, the motorcycle covered 17,651 miles in just twelve months. This annual rate of over 17,000 miles is well above the typical average for a vehicle of this age and explains the rapid wear on consumable items like the drivetrain, tyres, and suspension components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the drivetrain and braking system. Given the loose chain noted at 19,650 miles, a check for proper tensioning, excessive stretch, and wear on the sprockets is essential. The rear brake pads are also nearing replacement, so the buyer should verify the condition of the brake disc for scoring or uneven wear. Additionally, the high mileage accumulated in the last year warrants an inspection of the front fork seals for leaks and the overall state of the tyres to ensure the rapid usage has not led to premature fatigue.
