2012 Honda CBF125 M 0.1L Petrol · CE12 NFX

The MOT history for this Honda CBF125 shows a single recorded test date of 4 January 2022, which resulted in an initial failure followed by a pass on the same day. The record indicates a trend of minor mechanical neglect regarding lighting and drivetrain components, though the most recent outcome shows these specific failures were rectified. Because the last recorded test was over four years ago, the current roadworthiness status cannot be verified through official DVSA data. The vehicle has covered 14,079 miles over its lifespan, averaging approximately 1,006 miles per year. This low annual mileage suggests infrequent use, which can often lead to issues such as seized components or degraded fluids from long periods of standing. The lack of any MOT entries between January 2022 and the current date of 30 August 2026 represents a significant gap in documented compliance and roadworthiness monitoring. A physical inspection is necessary to address the advisories noted during the 2022 test. The tester flagged a loose drive chain and rear brake linings that were close to the minimum legal limit. While these were listed as advisories rather than failures, the low mileage context means the chain may have suffered from oxidation or stiffness rather than wear. The front shock absorber also showed external damage to the casing, which requires a close look for signs of oil leakage or compromised structural integrity. Prospective buyers should specifically check the condition of the braking system and the drive chain tension. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, inspecting the tyres for age-related cracking and ensuring the lighting system remains fully functional is essential. The absence of recent testing data means the mechanical state of the engine and suspension components remains unverified. buying_score: 45 risk_level: Medium.
