2017 Yamaha YZF R125 ABS 0.1L Petrol · DV17 AAF

The vehicle appears mechanically stable based on its MOT history, though the data is significantly outdated. The most recent test on 20 January 2023 at 15,699 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to 2020, suggesting the bike was well-maintained during its active testing period. The mileage is low for a nine-year-old machine, averaging roughly 1,744 miles per year. A notable stagnation in use occurred between December 2021 and January 2023, where the odometer remained fixed at 15,699 miles. This indicates the motorcycle has likely been stationary for over three years leading up to the current date of July 2026. Long periods of inactivity introduce specific risks that the MOT record cannot capture. A buyer must check for perished tyres, degraded brake fluid, and potential corrosion on the chain and sprocket kit. The battery is likely depleted or failed given the gap since the last recorded test. Inspect the fuel system for gumming or varnish caused by old petrol sitting in the tank. Check for any signs of seizure in the brake calipers or sticking suspension seals, as these components often degrade when a vehicle is not ridden regularly. The lack of historical advisories is positive, but the current roadworthiness depends entirely on how the bike was stored during its long dormancy.
