2004 Honda CG125 0.1L Petrol · LB54 AAU

The 2021‑09‑25 MOT at 34,586 miles recorded a clean pass with no defects, confirming that the Honda CG125 currently meets DVSA roadworthiness criteria as of that date. Since the previous test in 2020 showed no recorded faults and earlier entries from 2018 onward also displayed no defects, the maintenance record suggests a stable condition with no worsening trend, although the five‑year gap to the present date means the assessment is not current. The mileage of 34,586 miles over 22 years averages roughly 1,572 miles per year, indicating relatively light usage; however, the annual increments show a marked rise in the last three years—3,611 miles between 2019 and 2020 and 3,114 miles in the single year 2020‑2021—implying that the bike has been ridden more frequently since 2019, possibly after periods of standing. Recurring issues such as the 5.3.2 (b) oil misting on both front and rear shock absorbers, repeated mentions of a worn but not excessive drive chain, and several stop‑lamp failures point to potential suspension bush wear, chain tension problems, and brake lighting defects that have not been resolved permanently. Earlier records also note rear wheel damage, tyre tread below the 1.0 mm minimum, and rust on the swing arm and front suspension assembly, highlighting a pattern of intermittent neglect of structural and drivetrain components. A buyer should therefore inspect the shock absorber seals for leaks, verify chain tension and condition, test brake lights and examine caliper operation, measure tyre tread depth, assess rear wheel integrity, and look for any signs of swing‑arm or suspension corrosion that could compromise structural integrity.
