2011 Yamaha YZF R125 0.1L Petrol · RF11 AEO

The most recent MOT test on 2025-03-21 confirms the vehicle passed without any recorded defects, though the preceding history reveals an unusual pattern of simultaneous pass and fail entries at two intervals—once in April 2024 and again in April 2023—both at identical mileages (24,982 and 14,829 miles respectively). This suggests either an administrative error in the DVSA system or, more likely, a deliberate manipulation of test dates to circumvent annual testing requirements. The clean pass in March 2025, however, indicates the vehicle was roadworthy at that point, though the irregularities warrant scrutiny of whether critical components were overlooked or if the vehicle was driven without a valid MOT for extended periods. The recorded mileage of 29,145 miles over nearly 15 years—approximately 1,943 miles annually—is unusually low for a motorcycle of this age, particularly given the typical wear patterns associated with higher mileage. The largest gap between tests spans from April 2023 to March 2025, covering 14,316 miles in just over two years, which is still below average but suggests the bike was not ridden frequently. The identical mileages at the 2023 and 2024 tests further imply the odometer may not have been updated correctly, or the vehicle was stored for prolonged periods without movement. Buyers should verify the odometer reading against service records or third-party inspections, as discrepancies could indicate tampering or neglect. Given the history, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the chain and sprocket condition , as these are often overlooked on low-mileage bikes but critical for drivetrain longevity. The repeated test anomalies also raise concerns about braking system integrity , particularly the calipers and pads, which may have been bypassed in prior tests. Suspension components—including rear shock absorbers, steering head bearings, and bushings —should be checked for excessive play or corrosion, as these are common failure points on motorcycles left unused for extended periods. Finally, inspect the fuel system for stale fuel or clogged filters, as prolonged inactivity can lead to carburettor or fuel line issues, and examine the electrical connections for oxidation, which often develops when a bike sits unused. The absence of defects in recent tests does not guarantee these areas have been maintained.
