Our Verdict
A strong option for a low-mileage commut
Given the exceptionally low mileage for a six-year-old vehicle, you should verify the service history to ensure oil and filter changes have been performed based on time intervals rather than mileage. Vehicles that spend long periods stationary can suffer from battery degradation and perished rubber components, so check for these specifically.
Ensure the seller can provide evidence or an invoice for the repairs carried out in August 2025 to address the steering and alignment failures. Negotiate based on the age of the tyres; if they are the originals from 2020, they may require replacement due to age-related hardening, regardless of the remaining tread depth.
As a 125cc petrol engine, this vehicle is designed for maximum economy. It will sit in a low insurance group and a low annual road tax bracket, making it one of the most affordable ways to commute in the UK.
Maintenance costs for the CBF range are typically low, focusing on basic consumables like oil, tyres, and brake pads. Fuel consumption is expected to be very high, keeping monthly running expenses to a minimum.
The primary area of inspection must be the steering and chassis. The August 2025 MOT failure specifically noted a stiff or notchy steering headbearing and incorrect rear wheel alignment that adversely affected the steering. During a test ride, ensure the handlebars move smoothly from lock to lock without any 'clicks' or resistance.
Additionally, check the rear wheel alignment and ensure the bike tracks straight. Because the mileage is so low (3,760 miles), inspect the tyres for 'flat spots' or sidewall cracking, which can occur when a bike is left on its stand for extended periods.
This grey 2020 Honda CBF 125 has covered just 3,760 miles since its first registration in August 2020. The MOT history is relatively clean, with a failure and subsequent pass on the same day in August 2025. It represents a low-usage example of a fuel-efficient 125cc petrol bike.
No specific aggregate MOT data is available for the Honda CBF in this dataset to establish a wider reliability pattern.
