Our Verdict

Approach this 2007 Honda CBR125R with caution and budget for immediate suspension and wheel bearing work. The recent MOT shows several worn components that were flagged and a failed retest on a simple lamp fault, suggesting deferred maintenance.

When viewing A21LBC, ask for proof the February 2026 registration plate lamp fault was rectified and confirm a current pass certificate, since the same-day fail and pass show it was corrected quickly but you must verify. Negotiate on the basis of the open advisories: the rear shock absorber requires replacement, the rear wheel bearing should be replaced, and the front forks show oil misting, all of which point to a suspension overhaul costing several hundred pounds at a motorcycle shop.

As a 125cc petrol motorcycle, the CBR125R benefits from low road tax (typically under £25 a year for pre-2017 bikes) and cheap fuel use, with real-world economy around 80-100 mpg. Insurance for a 2007 125 is usually in a low group, often under £200 annually for a mature rider, though premiums vary by postcode and experience.

On this vehicle, physically check the rear shock absorber for the reduced damping effect noted at the 2026 MOT and confirm whether it has been replaced; a failed or weak shock is a safety item on a small bike. Inspect the rear wheel bearing for the slight play flagged and the front fork legs for the light oil misting, as both indicate wear needing attention.

This black 125cc Honda CBR125R (A21LBC) first registered in December 2007 has covered 15,499 miles, which is modest for an 18-year-old machine. The MOT history shows passes in 2022, 2023 and 2024 with only minor advisories, but the February 2026 test failed on an inoperative registration plate lamp and carried over advisories for exhaust clamp, fork oil misting, rear shock damping and rear wheel bearing play. No aggregate model reliability data is available, so assessment rests solely on this vehicle's record.

No aggregate MOT reliability data is available for the Honda CBR125R, so this assessment relies entirely on the individual history of A21LBC.
