2020 Honda CT125C 0.1L Petrol · DX70 DYA

The 2020 Honda CT125C has maintained a consistent MOT history with no defects recorded across the last three tests, most recently passing on 2026-04-07 at 20,736 miles. This suggests a stable roadworthiness trend with no recurring mechanical or structural issues flagged by the tester. The vehicle’s compliance with emissions, brakes, steering, and suspension standards remains uncompromised, though the absence of advisories or minor faults does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in components like suspension bushes or coil springs, which are not always tested under standard MOT protocols. The recorded mileage of 20,736 miles over six years—approximately 3,456 miles annually—indicates unusually light use for a vehicle of this age. The gap between tests is also notable: the 2024 and 2025 tests occurred just 11 months apart, with minimal mileage accumulation (18 miles between them), followed by a more typical 1,465-mile interval before the 2026 test. Such low mileage could imply prolonged periods of storage, which may accelerate degradation in rubber components (e.g., throttle bodies, brake hoses) or lead to battery sulphation if the vehicle was left unused for extended periods. Given the lack of MOT-reported faults, the buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension integrity, particularly the rear coil springs and bushes, which are prone to fatigue even with low mileage. The brakes—while MOT-cleared—should be assessed for uneven wear or binding calipers, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for long periods. Tyre condition, despite no MOT failures, warrants scrutiny, as the low mileage might mask uneven wear or embedded debris. Finally, check for corrosion around the frame rails, subframe mounts, and exhaust system, as these areas are critical for structural integrity and often overlooked in light-use vehicles.
