Yamaha Mio Aerox 155 Review
"A genuinely fast scooter that rewards buyers who inspect CVT carefully."
Used Buyer Review
The Aerox 155 is genuinely quick for a scooter — that VVA-equipped engine pulls hard past 6,000rpm in a way that'll surprise you at traffic lights. Used examples from 2017 onwards are generally solid, but check the variator rollers carefully because owners who commute hard rarely service them on schedule. Belt wear is the silent killer here — budget for a replacement if you can't verify the history. Build quality is decent but not exceptional. Plastics scratch easily and the underseat storage is surprisingly shallow for a machine this size. The dual-channel ABS on later models is worth hunting for specifically — early non-ABS versions bite hard on wet roads. Suspension is firm for a scooter, which actually helps confidence at speed but gets tiresome on broken urban tarmac. Overall it's a legitimate performance scooter that earns its price premium over basic 125s. Just inspect the CVT system thoroughly and don't let a seller talk you out of a test ride.
