2018 Yamaha X-MAX 125 ABS 0.1L Petrol · YP18 LSV

The most recent MOT inspection on 29 December 2025 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, indicating the vehicle was in a roadworthy condition at that time. Looking at the historical trend, the maintenance profile appears stable. While there were advisories regarding a missing mudguard component in early 2023 and a front tyre nearing the legal limit in late 2024, the clean result in the most recent test suggests that these specific maintenance items have been rectified by the previous owner. With 14,199 miles recorded over approximately eight years, the vehicle has averaged a low annual mileage of roughly 1,775 miles. This level of usage is significantly below the typical average for a scooter of this age, suggesting it has been used primarily for light commuting or has undergone extended periods of storage. While low mileage generally implies less mechanical wear on the engine, transmission, and braking systems, it introduces specific risks associated with vehicles that spend significant time standing, such as component degradation due to inactivity rather than friction. During your inspection, you should pay close attention to the condition of the tyres. Even if the tread depth appears sufficient, check the sidewalls for signs of perishing, cracking, or dry rot, which is common in low-usage vehicles that sit stationary. Given the previous advisory regarding tyre wear, verify that the current set is relatively recent and shows even wear patterns without excessive cupping. You should also inspect the front mudguard to ensure the previous advisory regarding the missing section has been fully resolved and that the assembly is structurally sound and securely fixed. Further scrutiny should be applied to the braking system and fluid health. Inspect the brake discs for surface corrosion or pitting and check the calipers for signs of binding or sticking, which can occur when a vehicle is not used regularly. It is also advisable to verify the health of the 12V battery and check for any signs of fluid degradation, such as discoloured brake fluid or aged engine oil. Finally, ensure the service history is documented to confirm that time-based maintenance, such as oil changes and fluid flushes, has been carried out according to the manufacturer's schedule regardless of the low mileage.
