Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the mileage
Prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the chassis and controls. The repeated mention of a deformed handlebar indicates a previous drop or accident; check for associated damage to the forks, levers, and footpegs. Verify that the steering headbearing has been serviced, as it was recorded as stiff or notchy in October 2023.
Check the service records for evidence of regular oil changes and chain maintenance. Given the 2022 failure for an insecure brake pin, ensure all fasteners on the braking system are tight and that the pads are wearing evenly. Negotiate the price based on the need to potentially replace the handlebars and service the steering head.
The 124cc engine is designed for high fuel efficiency and low emissions, resulting in minimal fuel spend and a low annual road tax bracket. Insurance for a 125cc motorcycle is typically affordable, making this an economical option for urban commuting.
Maintenance costs for the CG125 are generally low due to its simple air-cooled design. However, the estimated annual running cost, including fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing, is likely to fall between £400 and £700 depending on usage.
Carefully inspect the handlebars and steering assembly. The MOT history specifically flags a deformed handlebar in 2022 and 2023, and a stiff or notchy steering headbearing in 2023; these should be checked for safety and ride quality.
Examine the drive chain tension and the front brake assembly, referencing the 2022 failures for a loose chain and an insecure brake pin. Finally, test all electrical systems, including the stop lamp, indicators, and headlamp aim, as these have all been points of failure in previous MOT tests.
This black 2007 Honda CG125 has recorded 22,866 miles as of its last test. The MOT history shows failures involving critical safety components, including an insecure brake pin and a loose drive chain in 2022, alongside various electrical faults. A deformed handlebar has been noted as an advisory across multiple years, suggesting a past impact.
No aggregate data is available for the Honda CG125, though the series is traditionally noted for its mechanical simplicity.
