2012 Honda CBF 125 M-B 0.1L Petrol · AF12 OFC

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in February 2026 at 46,936 miles passed with only minor advisories regarding a reflector and chain wear, previous records show a history of mechanical neglect. The trend is currently improving following a significant failure in early 2025, but the recurring nature of the drivetrain and braking faults suggests that the owner only addressed issues once they reached the point of an MOT failure. At 14 years old, the 46,936 recorded miles represent a low average of approximately 3,350 miles per year. This low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the engine and gearbox, but it often leads to degraded rubber components. Between February 2024 and February 2025, the bike covered only 1,490 miles, yet it failed on multiple counts including a seized rear brake and bald tyres. This discrepancy suggests the vehicle may sit for long periods or be used for very short distances where components do not reach optimal operating temperatures. A buyer must inspect the drive chain and sprockets closely, as the component was flagged for being excessively loose in 2024, excessively tight in 2025, and finally worn in 2026. The braking system shows signs of inconsistency, with a seized rear brake and low efficiency recorded in February 2025. Physical inspection of the calipers for sticking pistons or fluid leaks is essential. Additionally, the anchor arm was noted as being incorrectly fitted in 2025, necessitating a check to ensure all suspension-related bolts are currently torqued to specifications.
