2008 Yamaha YBR 125 0.1L Petrol · SK08 AEV

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows signs of emerging degradation after years of clean records. The most recent test on 20 March 2026 at 42,293 miles resulted in a failure due to low headlamp aim, a worn centre stand, and a worn offside front brake lever. While the bike passed immediately upon rectification, the presence of a slight engine oil leak which persisted since the March 2025 test indicates a recurring weeping issue that requires ongoing monitoring. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,350 miles per year. There is a significant jump in usage between March 2019 and March 2021, where the mileage climbed from 4,876 to 22,212 miles. Since that period, the usage has levelled to a more consistent rate, adding roughly 3,000 to 4,000 miles annually. This low-mileage profile often leads to the aging of rubber-based components and seals, which likely explains the recent appearance of the engine oil leak. A buyer should specifically inspect the engine to determine the extent of the oil leak and verify if it is a simple gasket seal or a more significant failure. The centre stand should be checked for structural integrity and pivot wear, while the brake lever requires replacement to ensure proper tactile feedback and safety during operation. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, a thorough check of the frame for corrosion and fork seals is essential, as long periods of standing can lead to internal degradation that is not captured by mileage data alone.
