2009 Yamaha YZF R125 0.1L Petrol · WV59 TPX

The vehicle currently holds a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass in December 2024 at 23,600 miles. This test resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the mechanical and safety components met the required standards at that time. The history suggests the bike has remained in functional condition throughout its recent inspection cycle. The mileage profile reflects exceptionally low usage for a seventeen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,388 miles per year. There is a significant twelve-year gap between the August 2012 test at 5,406 miles and the December 2024 test at 23,600 miles. This irregular pattern suggests the vehicle sat stationary for long periods or was used very sparingly. While low mileage reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components, perished fluids, and internal corrosion that mileage alone cannot prevent. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection to identify signs of neglect resulting from long periods of inactivity. While the 2012 advisory noted a slightly loose drive chain, the buyer should check the current state of the chain, sprockets, and seals for stretch or rust. Given the age of the bike, particular attention should be paid to tyres for cracking, brake fluid hose degradation, and the condition of the fork seals. Inspect the frame for structural corrosion and ensure the suspension remains supple, as low mileage does not guarantee the integrity of materials aging over nearly two decades.
