2012 Yamaha NXC125 0.1L Petrol · FG62 YBU

The Yamaha NXC125 currently holds a valid MOT status following its most recent test on 10 October 2024 at 28,700 miles, which recorded no defects. However, the record shows a failed test on the identical date and mileage, also listing no defects. This anomaly suggests an administrative or procedural issue rather than a mechanical fault. The overall maintenance trend appears stable, with no recurring mechanical or structural defects documented across the history. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally low usage for a 14-year-old machine, averaging roughly 2,050 miles annually. Between the October 2022 test at 24,379 miles and the September 2023 test at 26,068 miles, the scooter covered just 1,689 miles. The subsequent year saw slightly higher use, accumulating 2,632 miles to reach 28,700 miles by October 2024. Such low mileage typically indicates short-trip commuting or prolonged periods of inactivity, which carries its own mechanical implications. Despite the clean MOT record, the low annual mileage and potential for long stationary periods warrant a thorough physical inspection. Tyre condition demands close scrutiny, as rubber perishes and cracks with age rather than tread wear. Brake calipers may exhibit binding or corrosion from standing, even if they passed the recent test. Inspect the suspension components and frame for corrosion, particularly around welded joints and under the floor panel. A buyer should also verify the condition of the fuel system and battery, as stale fuel and discharged cells are common issues with infrequently used scooters.
