2017 Yamaha Delight 125 (lts 125-C) 0.1L Petrol · WR67 SJO

The vehicle remains roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of minor mechanical irregularities rather than systemic neglect. The most recent test in February 2024 at 12,871 miles identified a stiff or notchy steering head bearing, which suggests early wear in the steering assembly. While the bike passed this inspection, the specific fault indicates that the front end components are beginning to require attention to prevent further degradation of handling. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,430 miles per year. Data shows a significant gap in usage between December 2021 and February 2024, where only 13 miles were recorded over two years. This pattern suggests the vehicle may have sat for long periods or was used very sporadically. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and tyres, long stationary periods often lead to the degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and corrosion in areas that mileage alone cannot capture. A buyer must physically inspect the steering geometry to ensure the notchiness noted in early 2024 has not progressed into a total failure of the bearings. The 2023 test also flagged a fluctuation in rear brake effort, which combined with the 2020 report of uneven front pad wear, suggests the braking system requires a thorough check for sticking calipers or contaminated fluid. Additionally, verify the seat locking latch and horn functionality, as previous failures indicate these minor items were overlooked by earlier owners until tested.
