2023 Yamaha GPD125-A Nmax 125 ABS 0.1L Petrol · WCU 822Y

The latest MOT test on 11 June 2026 resulted in a pass after an initial failure for a major defect concerning the rear shock absorber being insecurely attached. This indicates that the issue was promptly rectified, suggesting a responsive approach to maintenance. With no other defects or advisories recorded in the available history, the overall trend appears stable, provided the repair was carried out to a high standard. At 15,075 miles over approximately three years, the annual mileage averages around 5,025 miles, which is relatively low for a scooter of this age. This usage pattern may imply periods of inactivity, which can lead to its own set of concerns, such as deterioration of seals, gaskets, and fluids due to lack of regular operation, as well as potential corrosion or binding in the braking system from prolonged standing. Given the low mileage and recent MOT pass, a thorough inspection should focus on the condition of components prone to degradation from age rather than wear. Check the rear shock absorber mounting points for security and signs of distress, such as damaged bushings or loose bolts, and listen for unusual noises over bumps during a test ride. Examine the tyres for sidewall cracking or perishing, as rubber can harden and degrade even with low mileage. Additionally, assess the 12V battery health, as infrequent use can lead to sulphation and reduced capacity. Inspect the brake discs and calipers for surface corrosion or uneven wear, which may indicate binding or lack of use, and verify that the ABS system is functioning correctly without any warning lights. Time-based fluids, such as brake fluid and coolant, should be checked for condition and level, as these degrade regardless of mileage. Finally, review the service history to confirm that routine maintenance, such as oil changes and valve clearances, has been carried out in line with the manufacturer’s schedule, as low-mileage vehicles can still suffer from neglected servicing.
