2006 Honda CBR 125 R 0.1L Petrol · FJ06 HVB

The most recent MOT test passed on 20 August 2022 at 17,337 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history is stable with no recurring faults or advisories. The same-day failure on 20 August 2022 at identical mileage shows a clerical or administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical defect, as the record lists no defects for either entry. Prior to that, the machine passed cleanly on 21 August 2021 at 13,233 miles. The odometer shows roughly 867 miles per year against a 2006 build date, a low figure for a 20-year-old machine. Between the August 2021 test at 13,233 miles and August 2022 at 17,337 miles the bike covered just 4,104 miles, then recorded no further tests in the three years since. The sparse history gives only two clean passes and one anomalous failure, with no advisories on tyres, brakes, suspension bushes, or corrosion to indicate neglect or heavy use. A buyer should treat the four-year gap since the last test as the principal concern. Long standing periods at low mileage commonly cause seized calipers, degraded fork seals, flat-spotted tyres, and surface corrosion on the frame and exhaust. The clean 2022 record gives no warning of structural weakness, but the absence of recent inspection means the current condition of brake discs, chain and sprockets, and electrical systems is unverified. Given the machine's age and dormancy, a physical check should confirm no binding front or rear brakes, no weeping suspension components, and no rust at stress points or the swingarm. The spotless MOT trail implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, yet the expired test status demands a fresh examination before any road use.
