2007 Yamaha DT125 0.1L Petrol · KX57 UML

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows signs of reactive care regarding minor mechanical components. The most recent test in October 2024 at 27,095 miles resulted in a failure due to a non-functional rear position lamp and stiff throttle. While the bike passed immediately after these rectifications, the persistence of the throttle issue suggests the internal cables or housing may require closer attention than a simple adjustment to ensure reliability. The recorded mileage of 27,095 miles over 19 years is exceptionally low, averaging only about 1,426 miles per annum. There is a significant gap in usage between March 2023 and October 2024, where the bike covered only 851 miles in over seventeen months. This low-frequency usage pattern often indicates the vehicle sits for long periods, which frequently leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, perished seals, and internal corrosion within the fuel system that is not captured by standard MOT inspections. A buyer must physically inspect the front shock absorber, as the tester noted a light misting of oil in 2023 at 26,244 miles. If this leak has progressed, it indicates a failing internal seal that will eventually lead to poor damping performance. The recurring missing chain guard across three consecutive tests from 2021 to 2023 suggests a history of neglecting non-safety-critical trim. Verify the state of the chain and sprockets for rust or seizing, as low-mileage bikes often suffer from dry, brittle links when not driven regularly.
