2008 Honda CG125 0.1L Petrol · CE08 FCA

OVERALL VERDICT: The most recent MOT test conducted on 10 April 2026 resulted in a pass with no recorded defects at 11,939 miles. This indicates a stable maintenance trend following previous rectifications. A failure recorded on 3 March 2023 regarding an insecure rear brake clevis joint was subsequently passed in the same session after repair, and a front brake binding advisory from February 2024 has not recurred in the two subsequent annual inspections. The current status reflects a mechanically sound motorcycle with no outstanding safety-critical advisories at the time of testing. MILEAGE AND WEAR PROFILE: With a recorded mileage of 11,939 miles against an age of approximately 18 years, this machine exhibits a low-use profile averaging roughly 663 miles per annum. Such low usage often suggests periods of extended inactivity which can accelerate deterioration of rubber components, seals, and fuel systems independent of distance travelled. While high mileage typically stresses engines and transmissions, low-mileage vehicles are prone to seized cables, perished tyres, and corrosion on structural joints due to lack of movement. The consistent mileage progression across the four-year MOT history confirms the odometer reading is credible and linear. CRITICAL IN-PERSON CHECKS: Despite the clean MOT record, physical inspection is required to verify the condition of braking hardware previously flagged. Check the front caliper for free movement to ensure the binding advisory from 2024 does not indicate early seizure, and inspect the rear brake linkage for security.
