1996 Yamaha DT125 0.1L Petrol · N321 AEO

The 2023-07-20 MOT at 15,836 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming current roadworthiness, although a failure on the same date indicates a prior issue that was remedied before the successful retest, suggesting a stable maintenance trend. The vehicle’s recorded mileage of 15,836 at 30 years of age equates to roughly 528 miles per year, a rate far below typical usage for a 1996 model, suggesting extended periods of inactivity; the mileage rose only eight miles between the 2022-07-14 test (15,828 miles) and the 2023-07-20 test, confirming minimal annual accumulation. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or corrosion, examine the rear brake calipers for binding, assess the condition of the brake discs for scoring or rust, and verify the structural integrity of the chassis and any rust‑prone panels, while also checking tyre tread depth and exhaust emission levels as indicated by the lack of recorded defects. Given the low usage and the recent pass, the DT125 appears mechanically sound, but the buyer must confirm that the previously flagged fault was fully rectified and that no latent wear exists in the drivetrain or suspension components.
