2021 Yamaha GPD125-A Nmax 125 ABS 0.1L Petrol · LR71 HTT

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2025-12-31 confirmed it as roadworthy, though it was retested just three days later after an initial failure—both at nearly identical mileages (100,419 and 100,404). The absence of defects in either instance suggests the failure was procedural rather than mechanical, but the lack of recorded issues does not preclude hidden wear. The previous test in October 2024 at 68,687 miles also passed without fault, indicating a stable pattern of passing tests. However, the rapid accumulation of mileage—over 30,000 miles in just under two years—implies accelerated wear on high-stress components like brakes, suspension, and drivetrain, even if not yet reflected in MOT failures. The recorded mileage of 100,419 miles over approximately five years equates to an average of around 20,000 miles annually, which is unusually high for a vehicle of this age and category. There is a notable gap between the October 2024 test (68,687 miles) and the December 2025 tests (100,419 miles), suggesting either a period of low usage or an undocumented reset, though the latter is unlikely given the consistent mileage progression. The absence of intermediate MOTs or service records further complicates assessing maintenance discipline, but the high mileage alone raises concerns about consumable components like brake pads, suspension bushes, and chain tensioners. Given the lack of MOT-reported faults, the primary focus for an in-person inspection should centre on components prone to high-mileage degradation. The braking system—particularly rear calipers and discs—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as ABS-equipped bikes can mask subtle faults until failure. Suspension components, including coil springs, fork seals, and rear shock absorbers, warrant thorough examination for leaks, excessive play, or corrosion, especially if the vehicle has been exposed to wet conditions. The drivetrain, including the chain, sprockets, and derailleur, should be inspected for stretch, excessive wear, or misalignment, as these are critical to both performance and safety at this mileage. While the MOT history does not indicate major structural issues, a detailed check of the frame for corrosion—particularly around the fuel tank, exhaust mounts, and undercarriage—is advisable. The absence of advisories in past tests does not guarantee current integrity, especially given the high mileage. Finally, the electrical system, including lights, switches, and ABS sensors, should be tested for reliability, as these are often overlooked until they fail. The buyer should prioritise verifying recent service records for brake fluid changes, chain lubrication, and suspension servicing, as these are not routinely covered by MOT testing.
