2019 Yamaha YZF R125 0.1L Petrol · LA19 TWN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding mechanical components. While the most recent test in July 2025 at 16,420 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged a front tyre worn to the legal limit and a binding front brake. This follows a 2024 failure at 11,960 miles where the front shock absorber was noted for reduced damping effect. The progression from a clean record in 2023 to active mechanical defects suggests that components are beginning to require attention. The mileage profile is notably low for a seven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,346 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between the 2022 test at 2,132 miles and the 2023 test at 7,374 miles, followed by a more rapid accumulation of over 9,000 miles in the subsequent 24 months. This pattern of intermittent use suggests the bike may have sat for long periods, which often leads to degradation of rubber components, seals, and fork oil despite the low odometer reading. A prospective buyer must inspect the front suspension assembly to ensure the shock absorber has been replaced or repaired following the previous damping failure. The binding front brake noted in 2025 requires a thorough physical check for seized caliper pistons or perished slider pins. Given the low mileage and age of the machine, the tyres and brake hoses should also be examined for cracking or flat spotting, as the 2025 advisory indicates the front tyre was already at the end of its service life.
