2011 Yamaha YBR 125 0.1L Petrol · YR61 AEK

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-08-26 at 8,111 miles resulted in a pass, though an earlier test on the same date failed without recorded defects. Subsequent tests in 2024 and 2023 showed similar patterns of passing and failing without specific issues noted. The lack of recorded defects in all tests suggests no critical mechanical failures, but the repeated failures without explanation raise questions about compliance or administrative errors. The maintenance trend appears stable, with no escalating issues, though the absence of detailed defect reports limits definitive assessment. The bike’s mileage of 8,111 miles over 15 years equates to an average of 541 miles annually, significantly below typical usage for its age. This low mileage implies infrequent use or prolonged periods of inactivity, which can lead to component degradation such as battery drain, tire dry rot, or corrosion. The MOT records show no gaps in testing, as each annual test was conducted within the required timeframe, but the most recent assessment predates the current date by over a year, leaving a period of unverified roadworthiness. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of prolonged inactivity, including checking the condition of tyres, suspension bushes, and brake components for stiffness or corrosion. The absence of recorded defects does not eliminate the risk of hidden issues, such as binding calipers or worn brake discs, which may not trigger immediate failures. Structural integrity and exhaust emissions should also be verified, as low-mileage vehicles can develop faults unrelated to wear, such as electrical system degradation or fluid contamination.
