2020 Yamaha Delight 125 (lts 125-C) 0.1L Petrol · WR20 BVC

The Yamaha Delight 125 has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded in either of the two most recent tests—passed on 23 December 2024 and 5 June 2023. This indicates a stable roadworthiness trend over the past two years, with no recurring advisories or failures to suggest underlying mechanical issues. The most recent test, just over eight months ago, confirms the vehicle remains compliant with current UK emissions and safety standards, though the absence of any recorded advisories does not preclude the need for a thorough visual and functional inspection by a buyer. The recorded mileage of 11,585 miles over approximately six years—roughly 1,931 miles annually—is notably low for a vehicle of this age. This pattern suggests either very light usage or prolonged periods of storage, which could impact components like battery condition, tyre degradation, and suspension fluid integrity. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests (18 months) is also unusually long for a scooter, particularly given the relatively low mileage. While this may reflect consistent ownership without heavy use, it raises questions about whether routine maintenance—such as chain lubrication, brake fluid changes, or suspension servicing—has been consistently performed. Given the sparse MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of high-wear items that are not routinely tested. Tyres, despite no MOT failures, should be checked for uneven wear or excessive tread depth, as low mileage does not guarantee longevity if the vehicle has been stationary. The battery, often neglected in lightly used scooters, may require testing for voltage and capacity, especially if the last test was over eight months ago. Suspension components—particularly the rear coil springs and bushes—should be examined for corrosion or play, as these are not always flagged in MOTs unless visibly compromised. Finally, the braking system, including calipers, pads, and discs, warrants verification for binding or excessive wear, as MOT tests only confirm minimum functionality rather than long-term condition.
