2023 Yamaha R125 (yzf 125 A)
CarHunch is tracking 438 2023 Yamaha R125 (yzf 125 A) vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 2023 Yamaha R125 is a near-certain MOT failure at first test, with only a 4% pass rate versus the UK average of 80%—a stark warning that these bikes arrive at test with serious issues. The dangerous defect rate is negligible at 0.2%, so safety-critical failures are rare, but the overwhelming majority still fail for other reasons.
At a median 5,562 miles for a 2023 model, these bikes are genuinely young and low-mileage, yet they're still failing badly, which points to build quality or setup issues rather than wear. Before buying or taking one to test, get a pre-MOT inspection to identify what's failing systematically—likely emissions, lights, or chain/sprocket wear—and budget for fixes before the test appointment.
We have 438 2023 Yamaha R125 (yzf 125 A) vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 2023 Yamaha R125 (yzf 125 A)
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.
