2023 Yamaha MT 125 (mtn 125-A) 0.1L Petrol · VU23 WVE

A clean MOT record to date means the motorcycle has not been flagged for any safety‑critical defects, and the latest pass on 27 March 2026 confirms that, at the time of testing, all inspected components met the statutory requirements. With no advisories or failures logged, the vehicle’s documented roadworthiness trajectory is uniformly positive. At just 10,105 mi after roughly three years, the average annual accumulation is around 3,400 mi, which is low for a 2023 MT 125. Such modest mileage typically translates to reduced wear on consumables such as tyres, brake pads and the chain, but it can also indicate periods of limited use or storage. Infrequent riding may leave rubber components harder than usual and could allow battery capacity to diminish if the bike has been stationary for extended stretches, even though no MOT items have highlighted those areas. When you inspect the bike, pay particular attention to the condition of the tyres – look for uneven tread wear, cuts or dry rot that can develop during long idle periods. Test the brakes for consistent pedal feel and listen for any squeal that might point to glazed pads or worn discs, despite the absence of MOT remarks. Examine the chain and sprockets for proper tension, lubrication and signs of corrosion, and check the suspension forks and rear shock for smooth travel without excessive play or leaking oil, as these parts can deteriorate quietly when the motorcycle is not regularly ridden. A thorough pre‑purchase inspection by a qualified mechanic is advisable to verify the state of the items that MOT testing does not cover in depth, such as the battery’s charge-holding ability, the exhaust system for hidden rust, and any potential frame or sub‑frame corrosion that could have arisen during storage. Confirm that the service history, if available, aligns with the low‑mileage profile, and ensure that any upcoming maintenance items – for example, tyre replacement or brake pad renewal – are budgeted for before finalising the purchase.
