2019 Yamaha YZF R125 0.1L Petrol · HT19 YFR

The current roadworthiness status of this Yamaha YZF R125 is excellent, with a clear maintenance trend showing a transition from minor neglect to a clean bill of health. The most recent MOT test conducted on 22 June 2024 at 12,269 miles resulted in a pass with zero defects, indicating that the motorcycle has been well-maintained or professionally prepared for its annual inspections over the last two years. This represents a significant improvement over the 2022 test, where the machine failed to meet basic regulatory standards due to a missing chain guard and alignment issues. The vehicle has covered 12,269 miles over seven years, averaging approximately 1,753 miles per annum. This low mileage suggests the motorcycle has seen infrequent use, which can sometimes lead to issues with fuel degradation or seized components if the bike was left standing for extended periods. However, the consistent annual testing intervals between 2022 and 2024 confirm the motorcycle has remained active and registered, avoiding the common pitfalls associated with long-term storage. The jump of 4,447 miles between the 2023 and 2024 tests shows the bike is currently being ridden more regularly than in the preceding years. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on the final drive components and structural integrity of the swingarm. While the 2022 MOT flagged a missing chain guard, you must verify that the replacement is securely mounted and that the drive chain shows no signs of stiff links or excessive stretch from poor lubrication. Given the low total mileage, inspect the tyres for signs of age-related perishing or sidewall cracking, as the rubber may be older than the current tread depth suggests. Check the brake discs for surface corrosion, as light use often prevents the pads from effectively cleaning the friction surfaces during normal operation.
