Looking at a WR 125?

Population figures cannot tell you whether one particular car is taxed, MOT-valid or safe to buy.

Check its registration free for the official tax, MOT and mileage record. If the car is still worth pursuing, the optional £9.99 full history check adds outstanding-finance, stolen and insurance write-off checks.

Wondering whether one particular WR 125 is off the road? A free SORN check shows whether it is currently SORN, taxed or untaxed.

Is the WR 125 disappearing?

124 are licensed as of 2026 Q1 — the highest count in the published series, so the WR 125 is still arriving on UK roads rather than leaving them.

A falling population is worth knowing before you buy: it usually means fewer donor cars, fewer specialists and slower parts supply, and it is why a good example of a scarce model can hold its price while a neglected one is hard to sell at any price.

Fuel and when it shows up in the statistics

DfT codes every vehicle in the Yamaha WR 125 generic-model group as petrol.

Yamaha WR 125 first appears in the published DfT series in 2026 Q1. Earlier quarters in this file do not include it, so that quarter is not a production start date.
