2009 Honda CBF 125 M-9 0.1L Petrol · EA09 XER

The vehicle presents an inconsistent maintenance history that has transitioned from significant mechanical neglect to minor cosmetic fitwork issues. While the most recent test in November 2021 at 68,252 miles passed with only minor advisories regarding a loose front mudguard, footrest, and fairings, this follows a catastrophic failure in the same month a year prior. The trend suggests a period of severe mechanical oversight that was briefly addressed, but the bike has now lacked a recorded MOT for over four years. At 17 years old, the recorded mileage of 68,252 miles represents a low annual average of approximately 4,000 miles. However, the data reveals significant gaps in usage patterns. Between October 2019 at 22,083 miles and November 2020 at 28,890 miles, the bike covered nearly 7,000 miles in a year, yet it then sat for nearly 40,000 miles between the 2020 and 2021 tests. Such long periods of standing often lead to degradation of rubber components, seized calipers, and fuel systems, regardless of the low odometer reading. A buyer must exercise extreme caution during an in-person inspection of the front-end and braking assembly. The 2020 failure highlighted critical structural defects, including an insecure fork yoke, a missing bolt on the fork bridge, and a bent brake rod restricting movement. Although these were supposedly rectified for the 2021 pass, the presence of pitted front brake discs and bent levers suggests the bike suffered a significant impact or severe abuse. Inspect the fork clamps for signs of lateral movement, ensure the brake pedal releases freely, and verify the exhaust system does not suffer from internal corrosion as previously noted in the records.
