2008 Honda CG125 0.1L Petrol · FN08 XMV

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status following a clean pass in September 2023. The maintenance trend shows signs of improvement after a period of neglect in early 2022. While the 2022 test revealed multiple failures related to lighting and the rear braking system, the subsequent pass with no recorded advisories at 10,999 miles indicates that these specific defects were addressed and the vehicle was returned to a functional state before the final inspection. The mileage profile is unusually low for an 18-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 611 miles per year. There is a significant discrepancy in the data between the August 2020 test at 17,729 miles and the March 2022 test at 10,999 miles. This retrospective drop of 6,730 miles suggests either a clerical error in the mileage recording or that the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods. Such long-term storage often leads to degradation of rubber components, perished seals, and fuel contamination, despite the low mechanical wear. A buyer must physically inspect the rear brake assembly and exhaust system to ensure the issues noted in March 2022 have not recurred. Given the low mileage and potential for long storage, a close look at structural corrosion on the frame and swingarm is essential, as age often affects metal more than mileage does. The condition of the tyres and fork seals is also critical, as age-related cracking occurs regardless of how little the bike has travelled.
