2008 Honda FES125 0.1L Petrol · CE08 EZR

The vehicle currently presents a questionable roadworthiness status following a significant failure in its most recent inspection. While the bike maintained a clean record for several years, the September 2023 test at 31,272 miles revealed a sharp decline in electrical and mechanical standards. The failure of stop lamps and indicator interference issues, combined with significantly worn front brake discs, suggests a lack of basic pre-inspection checks by the owner prior to that date. At 31,272 miles over 18 years, the motorcycle shows exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 1,737 miles per year. This low usage pattern often correlates with degradation rather than wear, as evidenced by the August 2022 test at 26,777 miles where the tester identified a corroded rear road spring. The three-year gap in records between the 2019 and 2022 tests indicates the vehicle may have sat for long periods, which frequently leads to the corrosion of metal components and seizing of rubber parts. A buyer must physically inspect the steering assembly and braking system. The 2023 failure flagged a stiff or notchy steering headbearing, which indicates a need for bearing replacement to ensure safe handling. Furthermore, the front brake discs were noted for excessive wear, necessitating a close check of thickness and surface condition. Given the history of corrosion on the rear spring in 2022, a thorough check of the frame integrity and mounting points is essential to ensure that low-mileage storage has not resulted in structural rust.
