2010 Yamaha XC 125 E Vity 0.1L Petrol · LD60 OVL

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach to repairs. The most recent MOT test in March 2023 at 27,830 miles resulted in a pass following a failure just one day prior. While the bike has maintained a legal status over the last three years, the recurring nature of failures for basic items like lighting and brake travel suggests that the owner only addresses mechanical faults when forced by a testing failure rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a sixteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,740 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap in usage between January 2022 at 26,924 miles and March 2023 at 27,830 miles, covering only 906 miles in over fourteen months. This low annual mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, but it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components, perished seals, and fluid corrosion if the vehicle has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer must physically inspect the braking system, as the rear brake lever failed for insufficient reserve travel in both January 2021 and March 2023. This recurring fault indicates either worn master cylinder, leaking seals, or severely degraded brake pads that require immediate attention. The headlamp aim was also flagged in 2023, suggesting loose or damaged mounting brackets which should be checked for stability. Given the low mileage and high age, inspect the tyres for cracking and rot, as the front tyre previously failed in 2021 for being near the legal limit, and rubber hard out regardless of tread depth.
