2022 Yamaha Delight 125 (lts 125 C)

CarHunch analysed 178 real MOT records for the 2022 Yamaha Delight 125 (lts 125 C). This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

The 2022 Yamaha Delight 125 passes its MOT first time only 62.5% of the time, well below the UK average of 80%, which suggests this scooter struggles with initial compliance. Dangerous defects are relatively uncommon at 8.4%, so safety isn't a widespread systemic concern, but the low pass rate points to recurring issues that keep owners coming back for retests.

The median mileage of 6,433 miles is low for a two-year-old machine, indicating these scooters aren't being thrashed, yet they're still racking up an average 0.16 failures and 0.4 advisories per test—mostly minor wear items rather than serious breakdowns. If you're considering one, budget for some pre-purchase attention to brake and electrical components, and factor in a retest cost: nearly four in ten won't pass on the first go.

What to check before buying a 2022 Yamaha Delight 125 (lts 125 C)

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
