Our Verdict
A sensible choice for a commuter, provided the recent MOT history is verified. This 2012 Honda CBF125 M shows a relatively clean record for its age.
When inspecting this specific 125cc Honda, focus on the mechanical state of the engine and drive components. Since the last recorded MOT was in early 2022, you must ensure the bike has been maintained since that date and check if a more recent MOT has been completed. Ask the seller for any documentation regarding maintenance performed after the 2022 test.
Check the tyres, chain, and sprockets carefully, as these are common wear items on small-capacity commuters. Given the 2012 registration, also inspect the fuel system and battery health, especially if the bike has been sitting idle for extended periods between 2022 and 2026.
The Honda CBF125 M is designed for high efficiency, making it an economical option for urban riding. Fuel economy is typically excellent for this engine size, and insurance groups for 125cc bikes are generally low, making it accessible for newer riders.
Maintenance costs for this model are typically modest, with inexpensive parts and simple mechanics. You should budget for regular oil changes and chain lubrication. Estimated annual running costs are low, though this will depend heavily on your annual mileage and insurance profile.
Start by reviewing the 2022 MOT history; while no specific defect types were recorded for the failure at 14,078 miles, you should check for any signs of recent repairs. Inspect the braking system, including pads and discs, to ensure they are not pitted or worn beyond limits.
Check the electrical components, such as indicators and headlight, and ensure the red paintwork is free from significant sun fading or deep scratches. Because the last data point is from 2022, a physical inspection of the tyres for age-related cracking is essential, regardless of tread depth.
This red 2012 Honda CBF125 M has covered 14,079 miles as of its last recorded MOT in early 2022. The MOT history shows a single failure in January 2022 at 14,078 miles, which was immediately rectified to achieve a pass. Given the low mileage recorded at that time, the vehicle appears to have seen light use over its fourteen-year lifespan.
No aggregate reliability data is currently available for the Honda CBF125 M to provide a statistical comparison.
