2010 Derbi GPR 125 09 0.1L Petrol · PE60 YRZ

The September 2024 test at 12,509 miles recorded a failure, indicating the vehicle is currently not roadworthy. The failure list includes rear brake caliper mounting, rear pad installation, throttle interference with steering, front pads at limit, a drive chain that is both loose and worn, an incorrectly fitted chain horseshoe, rear sprocket wear, an oil leak and an insecure sprocket guard. The pattern shows a clear deterioration since the 2014 pass, where only front pads were noted at limit. The persistence of drive‑chain issues and the emergence of multiple brake‑related faults suggest the maintenance trend is worsening rather than stabilising. Mileage accumulation over the vehicle’s life is exceptionally low. Between the 2013 test at 7,327 miles and the 2014 test at 11,031 miles the odometer rose 3,704 miles in roughly one year, then only 1,478 miles were added over the next ten years to the 2024 reading of 12,509 miles. This equates to an average of roughly 780 miles per year, well below typical usage for a sixteen‑year‑old motorcycle. The sparse mileage increase points to long periods of inactivity, which can mask wear on consumables but also means the few kilometres logged have been enough to expose structural and mechanical fatigue. A prospective buyer should inspect the drive chain for proper tension, correct horseshoe fitting and signs of excessive wear on both the chain and rear sprocket. Rear brake components, especially the caliper mounting and pad installation, require close scrutiny for looseness or misalignment. Front brake pads should be checked for wear near the limit and the condition of the disc surfaces. The throttle linkage and steering column must be examined for binding or interference, while the suspension bearing should be tested for play. An oil leak source needs identification, and the front sprocket guard should be verified as secure. Finally, the handle bar and related controls should be inspected for bends or misalignments that could affect rider confidence.
