2021 Honda CBF 125 M-M 0.1L Petrol · DG21 AHN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a passing MOT in May 2026, but the immediate history reveals a significant lapse in maintenance standards. While the most recent test showed no defects, the failure just five days prior at the same mileage of 9,573 miles indicates that critical components were previously neglected. This suggests a trend of reactive rather than proactive maintenance, where the owner only addressed essential repairs once forced to do by a failing test result. The mileage profile is notably low for a five-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,900 miles per year. There is a distinct gap in usage between the 2024 test at 604 miles and the 2025 test at 5,550 miles, where the bike covered five thousand miles in twelve months. Such periods of standing often lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid seals. The failure of the drive chain and sprocket at such low mileage suggests these parts likely suffered from corrosion or lack of lubrication rather than mechanical wear. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the steering head bearings to ensure the stiffness and notchiness noted in the 2026 failure have been properly rectified. The drive chain requires a close check for proper tension and sprocket condition, as the previous record flagged the entire assembly as worn to excess. Additionally, the front tyre should be verified for sufficient tread depth, as the previous failure indicated it was the legal limit. Checking for flat spots or uneven wear on the tyres is also advisable given the long periods of inactivity implied by the mileage data.
