The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.
**Reliability verdict:** This 2013 Yamaha YZF R125 is a serious concern—just 5.2% pass first time compared to the UK average of 80%, making it one of the poorest performers you'll encounter. The dangerous defect rate of 1.8% is low, but the catastrophic first-time pass rate is the real problem here.
**Context and practical takeaway:** These bikes average only 11,825 miles despite being over a decade old, suggesting they're either neglected or heavily weekend-use machines, and that low utilisation doesn't excuse the failure rates. With 0.11 failures and 0.4 advisories per vehicle, most MOT visits are still turning up issues that need sorting. If you're considering one, budget for immediate remedial work and get a pre-purchase inspection from a qualified motorcycle technician before committing.
We have 452 2013 Yamaha Yzf R125 vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.
There are a few reasons this can happen:
- Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
- Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
- MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
- Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT
