2022 Honda SH 125 AD2-N 0.1L Petrol · YB72 AAK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the most recent MOT reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. The test conducted on 18 February 2026 at 31,296 miles resulted in multiple failures involving critical safety systems, specifically lighting, braking, and tyres. While the vehicle passed the following day at 31,298 miles after the reported faults were addressed, the presence of a front brake pad advisory near the minimum limit indicates that components are reaching the end of their service life. At 31,298 miles over four years, the Honda has averaged approximately 7,824 miles per year. This figure aligns with typical usage patterns for a commuter-focused scooter. The mileage accumulation appears consistent, showing no evidence of long periods of neglect or excessive use. However, the failure on the front tyre tread depth of only 1.0mm suggests that the previous owner neglected basic consumables until a failed inspection rather than replacing them during routine service intervals. A physical inspection must focus on the front braking system, as the pads were flagged as being dangerously thin during the last test. The buyer should verify that the stop lamp switch and wiring are functioning correctly, as the rear stop lamp remained illuminated and the primary lamp failed to operate during the February 2026 failure. Given the recent failure of the front tyre, checking the condition of the remaining tyres for wear and depth is essential to ensure the entire set was not neglected.
