2013 Yamaha YBR 125 0.1L Petrol · FH13 XLO

The Yamaha YBR 125 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 14 October 2025 at 25,557 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and the prior annual examinations in October 2024, 2023, and 2022 also passed cleanly. The only blemish is a failed test on 8 October 2024 at 20,921 miles that recorded no defects, immediately followed two days later by a pass at 20,922 miles; this points to an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. At roughly 13 years old the machine shows 25,557 recorded miles, an average of about 1,966 miles per year. The records trace a steady low-use pattern: 11,721 miles in October 2022, 14,898 in October 2023, 20,922 in October 2024, and 25,557 in October 2025. Annual accumulation sits near 5,000 to 6,000 miles, with no sudden jumps or dormant gaps. Low standing mileage of this sort often means lighter wear on chain, sprockets, and clutch, though prolonged inactivity between rides can allow corrosion or perished rubber to develop unseen. A buyer should still inspect the bike in person for issues the MOT does not capture. The clean history gives no advisories on suspension bushes, fork seals, brake discs, or exhaust emissions, yet a 2013 machine now three years past its last defect flag may hide age-related corrosion on the frame and swinging arm. Check the front and rear calipers for binding, confirm tyre sidewalls are not cracked from standing, and verify the battery and carburettor respond after storage. The sparse, defect-free record implies the previous keeper kept basic upkeep current but the DVSA test does not assess deep structural integrity. Given the low annual mileage, prioritise a visual check of weld points, centre stand mounts, and wheel bearings before purchase.
