2008 Honda VT125C 0.1L Petrol · CK58 BFO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While it passed the most recent test on 12 June 2026 at 29,103 miles, it failed just ten miles prior for multiple critical issues. The owner subsequently addressed a failing rear tyre, a worn front tyre, and a stiff steering headbearing. The persistence of the steering headbearing and worn front brake discs across several years of testing suggests that components are only replaced once they reach the point of failure. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 29,103 miles is exceptionally low, averaging approximately 1,600 miles per year. The data shows consistent annual usage, with roughly 4,000 miles covered between June 2024 and 2025, and another 4,400 miles between June 2025 and 2026. This low mileage profile often leads to age-related degradation of rubber components and seals rather than mechanical wear. The recurring failures regarding the drive chain and brake calipers suggest that the bike may sit for long periods or receive minimal lubrication between intervals. A buyer must personally inspect the steering assembly, as the steering headbearing has been flagged as stiff or notchy in the most recent tests without clear resolution. The braking system requires close scrutiny; the history shows binding rear brakes in 2024 and 2025, alongside thin pads, which can indicate seized caliper pistons or perished brake fluid. Given the low mileage and high age, the drive chain should be checked for dry links and stretch, as it was flagged for being excessively loose in 2025. Finally, verify the tyres for sidew cracking, as the rubber likely degrades long before the tread is exhausted on older vehicles.
