Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. The very low milea
Given the very low recorded mileage, prioritise a physical inspection over reliance on the MOT history. Ask the seller directly why the bike has covered so few miles in nine years — answers such as long-term illness, multiple short-term owners, or being a second bike are reasonable, but the reason matters for assessing storage and maintenance needs. Check that the original V5 shows a consistent ownership chain and confirm the mileage on the current odometer matches the MOT records (1,668 miles as of March 2026).
Request any receipts, service history printouts, or Yamaha dealer stamps. With only 1,668 miles covered, the bike may still be within reasonable service intervals, but verify when the last oil change, brake fluid replacement, and chain inspection were carried out. A 125cc single-cylinder engine left unused for extended periods can suffer from stale fuel, corroded internal components, and seized brake callipers, so be prepared to budget for recommissioning work if storage conditions have been poor.
When negotiating, factor in the cost of a full recommissioning service if you cannot evidence recent maintenance. A bike at this mileage should not command the same premium as a well-used but regularly serviced example unless storage conditions and recent servicing can be clearly demonstrated.
The Yamaha MT-125 ABS is one of the most economical motorcycles to run in the UK. Insurance typically falls into the lowest groupings (group 1-3 depending on rider location), and annual road tax is negligible for a 125cc petrol motorcycle. Fuel economy commonly exceeds 90 mpg, making running costs primarily fuel, with a full tank costing only around £10-£12.
Routine maintenance is inexpensive due to the simple single-cylinder engine, with annual servicing typically costing £150-£250 at an independent motorcycle workshop. Chain and sprocket replacement, brake pads, and tyre changes are the main wear items, though at 1,668 miles these are unlikely to be imminent. However, if the bike has been stored for long periods, budget for replacement of rubber components (tyres, hoses, grips) and fluid changes that may be overdue by date rather than mileage.
Estimated annual running cost: £400-£700 including insurance, fuel, tax, and servicing.
Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection is vital for a bike of this age and mileage. Begin with cold-start behaviour — a 125cc engine that has sat unused may struggle to start, idle roughly, or emit smoke as stale fuel burns off. Check for corrosion on the chain, sprockets, brake discs, and exposed fasteners, which suggests poor storage. Look closely at the brake levers, clutch cable, and throttle cables for stiffness or corrosion.
Examine the tyres carefully for cracking, flat spots from prolonged standing, and age-related degradation — tyres older than five years should be replaced regardless of tread depth. The DOT date code on the sidewall will confirm manufacture date. Inspect all rubber components including fork seals and dust covers for signs of perishing. Check that all electrical systems function, including indicators, horn, headlight, and the ABS warning light sequence on startup.
Finally, verify the frame and swingarm for any damage or scuffs that might indicate a drop or accident, and check that all security features (steering lock, ignition) operate smoothly. A Yamaha dealer or independent Yamaha specialist inspection costing around £100-£150 is well worth the investment given the unusual usage pattern.
This 2017 Yamaha MT-125 ABS has recorded just five MOT tests since first registration in May 2017, all of which have passed with no advisories or defects noted. The odometer shows only 1,668 miles across nine years of ownership, averaging under 190 miles per year — exceptionally low even for a 125cc learner bike. While a clean MOT history is a positive data point, the test record alone cannot confirm mechanical condition, and such minimal annual use may itself be a concern regarding storage and component condition.
No aggregate MOT reliability data has been provided for the Yamaha MT-125 ABS, so a model-level reliability statement cannot be substantiated from the information available. Yamaha 125cc motorcycles are generally regarded as mechanically straightforward and dependable, but this assessment cannot be confirmed from the data given.
