2008 Yamaha YZF R 125 0.1L Petrol · WD08 BWL

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, having passed its most recent inspection on September 27 2024 at 31,016 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable as the motorcycle has consistently met passing standards across its latest successful tests. While the record shows immediate failures on the days of the tests in 2022 and 2024, the issues were clearly rectified instantly to achieve a pass without recording recurring mechanical defects. The mileage profile is notably low for an 18-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,723 miles per year. There is a significant four-year gap between the October 2018 test and the August 2022 test, during which the bike covered only 1,160 miles. This pattern of infrequent use followed by the 1,113 miles covered between 2022 and 2024 suggests the vehicle spent long periods stationary, which often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid chemistry rather than mechanical wear from high mileage. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by long-term storage and age-related decay rather than mileage-related stress. Inspect for perished brake lines, seized fork seals, and perished tyres that may show deep tread but significant cracking. Given the low usage, check the drive chain for dry spots and examine the fuel system for signs of varnish or contamination. The lack of recorded structural advisories is positive, but the integrity of the frame and swingarm pivots remains vital to ensure the bike has not suffered from hidden corrosion during its periods of inactivity.
