2012 Honda XL 125 V-B 0.1L Petrol · FN12 YKM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a reactive approach rather than preventative care. While the most recent test in October 2025 at 32,718 miles resulted in a pass, the tester flagged a rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. This follows a pattern established in early 2024 where the bike failed initially due to multiple tyre issues and a shock absorber, only passing days later after repairs. At 32,718 miles over 14 years, the motorcycle reflects exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 2,337 miles per year. The data reveals significant periods of inactivity, such as the 2,310-mile gap between February 2022 and February 2023, and the 1,429-mile interval between the 2024 test and the 2025 test. This low-use, high-age profile often leads to the degradation of rubber components and fluid oxidation despite low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer must specifically inspect the front suspension, as the offside shock absorber previously exhibited a serious fluid leak in February 2024. Although this was replaced, the recurring advisories for tyres reaching the legal limit in 2024 and 2025 suggest the owner ignores basic consumables until they reach failure points. Physical inspection should check for cracking on aged tyres and perished seals, which are common in vehicles that sit for long periods between short trips.
