2019 Yamaha YS 125 0.1L Petrol · LC19 SWJ

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a worsening trajectory regarding mechanical wear and exhaust components. The most recent test in February 2026 at 6,595 miles flagged three separate advisories, including a noisy rear exhaust, a loose nearside drive chain, and a rear tyre nearing the legal limit. This indicates that while the bike passes the minimum safety requirements, components are reaching the end of their functional service life simultaneously. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 942 miles per year. There is a significant usage gap between the June 2022 test at 121 miles and the July 2023 test at 1,567 miles, suggesting the bike sat stationary for long periods. Since 2024, usage has increased more rapidly, covering nearly 4,000 miles in just two years. This low annual mileage often leads to degradation of rubber components and potential fluid stagnation despite the low mechanical wear on the engine. A buyer must physically inspect the drive chain assembly, as the tester flagged it as slightly loose and worn in both 2024 and 2026. The recurring noisy exhaust suggests a loose mounting bracket or internal baffle damage that will require mechanical attention to prevent a future failure. Given the low mileage and periods of standing, a physical inspection should also check for perished sidewalls on tyres and corrosion on the exhaust manifold, as these are common issues for vehicles that are not used frequently.
