AI-generated interpretation of this vehicle’s MOT record — not an official statement and not a substitute for an independent inspection.

The 2015 Honda CBR presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 18 July 2025 at 14,126 miles returning a pass with no defects recorded. Prior tests in July 2024 at 10,799 miles and August 2021 at 9,279 miles also passed cleanly. The vehicle shows no recurring advisories or failures across its documented history, indicating consistent compliance with statutory roadworthiness standards. Recorded mileage sits at 14,126 miles over an eleven-year lifespan, equating to roughly 1,284 miles per year. The test on 12 February 2019 captured 4,440 miles, rising to 7,863 by August 2020 and 9,279 by August 2021. A gap then exists between the 2021 and 2024 tests, with 1,520 miles added by July 2024. Low annual use suggests extended standing periods, though the sparse but clean record gives no indication of neglected consumables or mechanical decay. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake calipers given the low-mileage, intermittent-use profile that can permit corrosion or seized components despite clean MOT outcomes. Standing time often degrades rubber seals and tyre sidewalls without triggering tester advisories. Verify the absence of structural rust at frame junctions and confirm brake disc condition, as binding calipers may develop unnoticed under light riding. The DVSA data alone supports a favourable verdict with no flagged exhaust emissions, structural integrity, or drivetrain concerns. Previous keepers maintained the machine to pass standard without deferred defects. Physical examination remains advisable to validate hidden wear from storage rather than road use.

Our Verdict

A sensible purchase for a learner or com

When inspecting this specific Honda, your primary focus should be the braking system. The most recent MOT advisory noted the front brake pads were close to the minimum limit; ensure these have been replaced or have significant life remaining before purchase.

Beyond the brakes, check the tyres and headlamps, as these are the most common failure points for this model according to aggregate data. Given the low mileage, also inspect the chain, sprockets, and seals for any signs of age-related perishing or dryness that can occur when a vehicle sits unused for long periods.

As a 125cc petrol machine, running costs are typically very low. This model sits in a low insurance group, making it economical for newer riders. Fuel economy is expected to be high, suitable for urban commuting.

Maintenance costs for this engine size are generally modest, though you should budget for regular chain lubrication and tyre replacements. The estimated annual running cost is relatively low compared to larger capacity motorcycles.

Directly address the 2025 MOT advisory by checking the thickness of the front brake pads and the condition of the brake discs. Ensure the braking action is smooth and not binding.

Check the headlamp and lighting assembly, as 'headlamp' is a top failure reason for this model. Additionally, inspect the tyres for adequate tread depth and any cracking on the sidewalls, and check that the brakes do not bind, which is another common issue identified in the wider model data.

This 2015 orange Honda CBR 125cc shows a relatively clean MOT history with only one recorded advisory regarding front brake pads in July 2025. With 14,126 miles recorded, it has covered much less than the 2,016-mile annual average seen across the model aggregate. The vehicle appears to have been used sparingly since its first registration in April 2015.

The Honda CBR 125 model has an 88% average MOT pass rate across the 11,495 vehicles analysed.
