2017 Yamaha GPD125-A Nmax 125 ABS 0.1L Petrol · PK67 AEC

The most recent MOT for this 2017 Yamaha NMAX, tested on 20 June 2023, confirms the vehicle passed with no defects recorded—though it had previously failed on 8 June 2023 at the same mileage, suggesting a last-minute rectification of an undocumented issue. The overall trend since 2021 shows inconsistent testing, with two failures in March of that year at just 1,394 miles, followed by a clean pass in May 2022 at 17,772 miles and another clean pass in June 2023 at 27,358 miles. The lack of recurring advisories or defects in recent tests implies no obvious mechanical degradation, but the abrupt failure in June 2023 warrants scrutiny of components that might not have been fully addressed or could recur. The recorded mileage of 27,358 miles over nine years—approximately 3,040 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age, suggesting prolonged periods of inactivity or light use. The most striking gap occurs between the March 2021 tests (1,394 miles) and the May 2022 test (17,772 miles), a span of 14 months with only 1,394 miles logged, which could indicate the bike was stored or rarely ridden. This pattern may have contributed to issues like seized components or degraded fluids, though no such failures are documented in later tests. The consistency of mileage readings across tests also suggests tampering with the odometer is unlikely. Given the sparse MOT history and the abrupt failure in June 2023, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of the braking system, particularly the ABS module and hydraulic lines, as these are common failure points in scooters with prolonged storage. The suspension components—rubber bushes, coil springs, and dampers—should be examined for perished rubber or excessive play, especially if the bike was stored for extended periods. Corrosion in the underframe, exhaust system, and electrical connections (such as battery terminals or wiring loom) is also likely given the low mileage and potential for moisture accumulation. Finally, the fuel system, including the carburettor or fuel pump if applicable, should be checked for clogging or degradation, as stagnant fuel can cause long-term damage.
