2012 Yamaha XC 125 E Vity 0.1L Petrol · LC62 HWE

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on July 4, 2024. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the only failure recorded on that date involved minor non-mechanical trim items rather than mechanical or structural defects. The tester flagged a low headlamp aim and a missing rear reflector, both of which were rectified to achieve a pass with no further defects. This indicates the owner is responsive to basic lighting and compliance requirements. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 296 miles per year. There is a significant eight-year gap between the March 2016 test at 2,628 miles and the July 2024 test at 4,147 miles. This pattern suggests the bike has spent long periods in storage or was used only for occasional trips. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain, engine, and brake components, it often introduces risks related to component degradation from lack of use. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection focused on the risks associated with long-term stationary periods. Check the tyres for sidewall cracking and flat spots, as the rubber ages over time regardless of tread depth. Inspect the fuel system for signs of varnish or gumming in the carburetor from fuel that sits for years. Additionally, examine the brake calipers for seized pistons and the suspension fork seals for perished perished, as seals can dry out when the suspension is not regularly cycled.
