The next term is:
610
As these terms are to be read as:
Times on a clock, the interval between each one increasing by 15 minutes:
9:25
+30 mins
9:55
+45 mins
10:40
+60 mins
11:40
+75 mins
12:55
+90 mins
2:25
+105 mins
4:10
+120 mins
6:10
The next term requires an interval of 105+15=120 minutes, or 2 hours, making it 6:10 (or '610' in the colon-less format of the puzzle).
