Our Verdict
A sensible purchase for those seeking a
When inspecting this Honda SES, your primary focus should be on verifying the low mileage against the vehicle's age. While the MOT records show consistent mileage (19,353 in 2022 and 19,700 in 2025), ensure that the odometer reading is consistent with its 2003 registration date.
Because this vehicle has clearly spent much of its life in low-use scenarios, check for signs of age-related wear such as perished rubber components, tyre sidewall cracking, or dried seals. Even with low mileage, a vehicle that sits for long periods can develop issues with battery health and fuel system cleanliness.
Running costs for this 125cc Honda are expected to be very low. The small engine size places it in a minimal insurance group and a low tax band, making it ideal for budget-conscious riders or new license holders.
Fuel economy should be excellent due to the small displacement, and maintenance costs for a Honda of this era are typically manageable. Expect an estimated annual running cost to be quite low, primarily consisting of fuel and basic servicing.
Review the physical condition of the tyres and brakes; although the MOT history shows no defects, low-mileage vehicles can sometimes have components that have aged through time rather than wear. Check the silver paintwork for any signs of oxidation or fading common to vehicles of this age.
Since the MOT history shows 'No defects recorded' for the 2022 and 2025 tests, there are no specific recurring mechanical failures to watch for in the records. However, always perform a cold start to listen for any unusual engine noise and check for any fluid leaks around the engine casing.
This 2003 Honda SES presents with remarkably low mileage, having covered only 19,700 miles in approximately 23 years. The MOT history is clean, with no defects recorded in the most recent tests in 2022 and 2025. Given its 125cc petrol engine, it serves as a highly economical option for urban transport.
There is no aggregate MOT data available specifically for the Honda SES to establish a long-term reliability trend.
