2002 Honda SES125 0.1L Petrol · FD52 HBP

The vehicle currently holds a clean roadworthiness status, but the history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While the most recent test in March 2022 at 33,590 miles passed without defects, the preceding tests show a cycle of failures. The trend suggests that mechanical issues are only addressed once they fail an inspection rather than during routine servicing. Given that over four years have passed since the last recorded MOT, the vehicle is now overdue and requires an immediate inspection to determine its current mechanical state. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,400 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap between February 2021 32,274 miles and March 2022 33,590 miles, where only 1,316 miles were covered. This low usage reduces overall wear on the drivetrain and engine components, but long periods of standing can often lead to the degradation of rubber components, dry-rotted seals, and corrosion on exposed metal surfaces that are not captured by mileage alone. A buyer must scrutinise the braking and suspension systems due to recurring faults in the record. The nearside front shock absorber showed oil misting in both 2021 and 2022, and the rear shocks were flagged as corroded in early 2022; these components should be checked for signs of age-related failure or fluid leaks. The brake system has a history of binding calipers, worn discs, and thin pads, necessitating a physical check of the friction material and disc thickness to ensure the system has not seized or degraded during the periods of inactivity.
