2010 Yamaha YBR 125 0.1L Petrol · YP10 FFD

This 2010 Yamaha YBR 125 presents a stable and largely positive roadworthiness record, with the most recent MOT conducted on 29 May 2025 at 22,485 miles resulting in a clean pass and zero defects. The maintenance trend is broadly improving. An earlier attempt on the same day in May 2025 flagged a missing split pin from the torque arm bolt, a critical brake mounting defect, but this was rectified immediately and the retest passed without issue. That single failure aside, the bike has passed every other recorded test cleanly, suggesting the owner addressed the fault promptly rather than allowing it to persist. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 16-year-old machine. Between June 2023 and May 2025, the odometer moved from 21,001 to 22,485 miles, an accumulation of just 1,484 miles over nearly two full years. Annual use sits at roughly 1,405 miles, well below the UK average for a commuter motorcycle. Such light use limits wear on consumables like brake pads, chain and sprockets, and tyres, but it also raises the possibility of prolonged standing, which can cause dried-out seals, stale fuel, and surface corrosion on exposed components. The record is consistent with no gaps or sudden spikes in mileage, lending confidence to the reading's integrity. The 2023 failure is the most informative entry for a prospective buyer. An excessively loose drive chain at 20,993 miles points to either neglect of routine adjustment or a worn chain and sprocket set that was subsequently corrected. The incorrect headlamp aim and a silencer at risk of detachment were also flagged on the same test, suggesting a period of deferred maintenance that was later resolved. None of these defects recurred in subsequent tests, indicating they were properly fixed rather than ignored. A buyer should still inspect the chain and sprocket condition in person, checking for tight spots, kinks, and uneven tooth wear that a clean MOT cannot reveal. The front brake torque arm bolt and its split pin deserve close visual confirmation, given the 2025 failure. Examine the exhaust silencer mountings and joints for fresh welding or replacement brackets. With such low annual mileage, rubber components, including fork seals, brake hoses, and tyre sidewalls, should be checked for age-related deterioration regardless of tread depth. The overall record is reassuring, but a hands-on inspection of these specific areas will confirm whether the bike's mechanical condition matches its clean paperwork.
