2010 Honda CBF 125 M-A 0.1L Petrol · EJ10 SFN

The motorcycle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the vehicle recently passed its January 2025 test at 48,582 miles, the introduction of a new advisory for play in the rear wheel bearing indicates developing mechanical wear. This follows a period of instability in early 2024 where the bike failed multiple tests related to braking and geometry. The overall trend suggests that faults are only addressed once they trigger an MOT failure rather than during routine servicing. At 48,582 miles, the motorcycle has covered a low distance for its sixteen years, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. This low usage explains the relatively low engine hours, but the significant gaps between tests, such as the two-year interval between November 2022 and January 2024, suggest the bike may have sat stationary for periods. Such inactivity often correlates with the degradation of rubber components and the accumulation of surface corrosion, which is consistent with the reports of structural corrosion noted in the records despite the low annual mileage. A buyer must conduct a thorough inspection of the structural integrity of the frame, as corrosion has been flagged in three consecutive tests since 2022. The rear wheel bearing now requires immediate attention to prevent lateral movement or further damage. Furthermore, the braking system shows a way history of neglect, with front brake pads being flagged as near-minimum limit in both 2022 and 2024. The purchaser should also verify that the fuel tank and footrests are securely mounted, as these were previous points of failure that indicate loose hardware or vibration damage over time.
