2008 Honda XL125V 0.1L Petrol · EK08 OPJ

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the maintenance trend shows a shift toward developing mechanical defects in more recent years. The most recent test in August 2021 at 25,300 miles passed despite a minor exhaust leak. This represents a slight regression from the 2020 test which flagged a stiff steering headbearing and a deteriorated registration plate. While the bike passes, the emergence of these issues suggests components are beginning to age prematurely. With a recorded mileage of 25,303 miles over 18 years, the motorcycle averages only approximately 1,400 miles per year. This low usage pattern suggests the vehicle has sat stationary for long periods, which often leads to degradation of rubber components and seals rather than mechanical wear. There is a significant gap in data between the 2021 test and the current date of 2026, meaning the vehicle has not been tested for five years. This lack of recent documentation makes the current state of the machinery unverified despite the low odometer reading. A physical inspection must focus heavily on the steering assembly to check for the notiness noted in 2020, as this can indicate worn headset bearings that require replacement. The 2015 record highlighted low front brake fluid, rear suspension bush play, and a loose drive chain; a buyer should verify if these were ever addressed and check the brake system for any signs of leaks that might explain the low fluid levels. Given the exhaust leak flagged in 2021, the manifold and headers should be examined for corrosion or structural fractures to ensure the leak has not worsened over time.
