2017 Yamaha Delight 125 (lts 125-C) 0.1L Petrol · DV17 ABZ

The most recent MOT test on 23 May 2023 recorded a failure at 17,571 miles, yet the DVSA entry logs no defects or advisories. Prior to that, the vehicle passed on 27 June 2022 at 10,733 miles and had failed five days earlier on 22 June 2022 at identical mileage with no defects noted. The mechanical history therefore shows a stable, clean trend with zero recorded faults across four tests since 2020, but the two non-mechanical failures warrant scrutiny. Overall roadworthiness cannot be confirmed as passed; the scooter currently holds a failed certificate despite absence of logged wear. Mileage progression reveals light use for a 2017 machine. The first recorded test on 25 June 2020 shows 6,309 miles. A gap then follows to June 2022 where the odometer reads 10,733 miles, implying roughly 2,200 miles per year during that period. The final jump to 17,571 miles by May 2023 compresses 6,838 miles into under twelve months, tripling the prior rate. Such low cumulative distance suggests prolonged storage, yet the recent surge indicates renewed regular riding. The sparse record lacks any 2021 entry, reflecting either MOT leniency or limited testing activity. A buyer should physically inspect suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs for deterioration linked to standing idle, as moisture corrosion often develops on static machines. The tester logged no advisories on exhaust emissions or structural integrity, but the unexplained failures demand verification of lighting, registration, or documentation compliance at the time. Check front and rear calipers for binding after the mileage increase, and confirm the odometer consistency with service history. Given the clean defect sheet, mechanical risk appears low, yet the anomalous fails mean a thorough pre-purchase examination remains essential.
