2022 Benelli BN 125 E5 0.1L Petrol · DA71 GXE

The vehicle is currently unroadworthy and exhibits a clear trend of worsening mechanical neglect. While it passed its test in April 2025 at 16,375 miles, the most recent inspection on 24 April 2026 at 20,116 miles revealed multiple critical failures. The transition from a clean record to a comprehensive list of drivetrain, braking, and structural defects suggests a significant lapse in preventative maintenance over the last year of operation. At 20,116 miles over four years, the motorcycle averages approximately 5,000 miles per year, which is relatively low for a daily commuter vehicle. However, the data shows 3,741 miles were covered between March 2025 and April 2026. This rapid accumulation of mileage immediately following a period of neglect is concerning. The failure of the drive chain and sprocket despite the low annual mileage indicates that the vehicle has been pushed to its limits without necessary service inspections or component replacements. A prospective buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the drivetrain and braking system. The recent failure for a loose drive chain, a worn rear sprocket, and excessively worn rear wheel hub crush rubbers indicates deep internal wear that requires immediate attention. Furthermore, the previous failure of a leaking rear brake master cylinder in 2025, followed by a front brake pad failure in 2026, suggests the hydraulic braking system has not been properly monitored. The structural integrity of the controls and fittings must also be verified. The tester flagged a broken offside front footrest and a shortened nearside clutch lever, pointing to a disregard for basic ergonomic and safety checks. The front tyre tread depth of 1.0mm is at the absolute legal limit and represents an immediate safety risk. This vehicle requires a significant investment to bring it back to a, roadworthy condition.
