2008 Honda FES 125-7 0.1L Petrol · FN08 XMZ

The vehicle currently maintains a stable roadworthiness status following its most recent MOT test in May 2023 at 39,728 miles, where it passed without any defects. This indicates that the mechanical and structural components met minimum legal standards at that time. However, the history shows a recurring pattern of reactive maintenance regarding tyres, suggesting that the owner addresses issues only upon inspection failure rather than performing preventative replacements. The mileage profile is notably low for an eighteen-year-old Honda motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,200 miles per year. There is a significant gap in records between July 2019 at 18,616 miles and January 2021 at 31,322 miles, during which the bike covered over 13,000 miles in a short period. Since then, usage has slowed considerably, covering only 8,406 miles over three years. This low annual mileage often leads to degradation of rubber components, seals, and fuel systems despite the lack of traditional mechanical wear. A buyer should prioritise a physical inspection of the tyres specifically, as the record shows a failure in January 2021 for a rear rear tread at 1.0mm and an advisory for a worn front tyre in January 2022. Given the age of the vehicle and the low usage, check for dry cracking in the sidewalls and perished brake fluid which are common in bikes that sit for periods. Also inspect for corrosion on the frame and swingarm, as low-mileage does not prevent structural rust over nearly two decades.
