2017 Yamaha Gpd125 A Nmax 125 Abs
CarHunch analysed 1,269 real MOT records for the 2017 Yamaha Gpd125 A Nmax 125 Abs. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2017 Yamaha NMAX 125 has a first-time MOT pass rate of 77.6%, slightly below the UK average of 80%, which suggests average reliability for this scooter age and type. More concerning is that 26.9% of these bikes have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, well above the typical threshold—a meaningful worry for prospective buyers.
At a median mileage of just under 31,000 km, these scooters have been run conservatively, yet they still average 0.61 failures and 2.8 advisories per vehicle, pointing to age-related wear and maintenance gaps rather than design faults. Before committing to one, get a full MOT history printout and have a mechanic inspect the brakes, electrics, and exhaust system—the areas where advisories typically cluster on ageing small bikes.
