2011 Yamaha XC 125 E Vity 0.1L Petrol · KX61 AEF

The vehicle presents a mixed maintenance profile with a recent trend towards passing tests after several periods of significant non-compliance. The most recent MOT on 31 October 2023 at 18,663 miles shows a pass, though the tester flagged an underinflated front tyre. This follows a successful retest in July 2022, which corrected several serious defects identified in June 2022. While the vehicle is currently compliant, the history shows a pattern of neglecting basic consumables and essential components, suggesting inconsistent upkeep by previous owners. The mileage profile indicates very light usage for a 15-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,244 miles per year. There is a notable period of inactivity between September 2014 and June 2017, where the mileage only increased from 9,842 to 14,592 miles. Such low annual mileage can lead to secondary issues such as perished rubber components or fuel system degradation from long periods of standing. The data shows the vehicle has remained largely stationary, which explains the low wear on the drivetrain but necessitates a closer look at age-related deterioration. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the braking system and tyre condition. The records show recurring issues with braking efficiency and binding, specifically during the November 2020 failure where the roller brake test failed due to inadequate control and the June 2022 failure which cited binding brakes. You should check for seized calipers or sticking pistons. The history also shows repeated failures regarding tyre tread depth and missing bodywork components like the front fender and fuel cap. Inspect all rubber seals, hoses, and tyres for signs of cracking or perishing due to the low-use nature of the vehicle. Ensure the throttle mechanism operates smoothly and without hesitation, as the June 2022 test flagged incorrect throttle operation. Given the history of missing reflectors and fuel caps, verify that all essential lighting and safety equipment are present and functional. Focus on the integrity of the fuel system and the condition of the brake discs, which were noted as worn during the 2020 inspection.
