2017 Yamaha YS 125 0.1L Petrol · FG67 NUB

The MOT history for this Yamaha indicates a pattern of inconsistent maintenance regarding basic consumables and electrical components. In the most recent test conducted in December 2021 at 24,883 miles, the vehicle passed without advisories, which followed a failure the previous year. During the October 2020 test at 14,865 miles, the tester flagged a missing rear registration plate lamp, an excessively loose drive chain, and front brake pads worn to the legal thickness limit. These failures suggest that the previous owner neglected routine service items until they became significant enough to fail an annual inspection. The mileage profile is notably low for a 2017 registration, averaging approximately 2,765 miles per year. This low usage typically results in less wear on the engine and tyres, but the long intervals between tests can lead to degradation of rubber components and seized seals in brake calipers. Since the last recorded MOT in late 2021, the vehicle has gone over four years without a formal recorded roadworthiness check. This gap is a significant risk as the current state of the brakes, drive chain, and structural integrity remains unverified by the DVSA data. A buyer should prioritize a thorough inspection of the drive chain and sprockets, as the 2020 failure indicates a history of poor tension adjustment. Given the time elapsed since the last test, the brake fluid and tyres likely suffer from age-related hardening regardless of the low mileage. The suspension bushings and swingarm pivot points should be checked for corrosion or excessive play, as low-mileage vehicles that sit for long periods often exhibit more environmental oxidation than those used daily.
