2022 Honda WW 125 A-M 0.1L Petrol · KM22 MHZ

The most recent MOT test on 11 May 2026 resulted in a pass, with a single advisory noting that an engine mounting or bracket is damaged but not to excess under section 6.1.8 (a) (i). With only two recorded MOT tests available and both resulting in passes, the maintenance trend cannot be described as either clearly improving or deteriorating, but the recent advisory warrants attention as a potential early warning. Engine mount advisories are commonly recorded when a rubber mounting has cracked, collapsed, or separated, which can progress over time if the vehicle is subjected to regular high-rev running, frequent cold starts, or heavy loads. A buyer should treat this advisory as an early indicator rather than a fail-level defect, but it does warrant a physical check before purchase. The recorded mileage of 74,317 miles over approximately four years equates to an average annual usage of around 18,579 miles, which is notably high for a motorcycle of this age and segment. This level of use means the consumable components such as tyres, brake pads, chain and sprockets, and brake discs will have experienced substantially more wear than a typical low-mileage example. There are no significant gaps in the recorded mileage history between the two MOT tests, suggesting consistent usage rather than extended periods of standing. While high regular mileage generally indicates that seals and gaskets have been kept active, it also implies that the next major service items, including valve clearance checks, throttle body balancing, and drive component replacement, may be approaching sooner than the calendar interval alone would suggest. Given the advisory relating to the engine mounting, the buyer should physically inspect the mounting for signs of cracking, splitting, oil contamination from the engine, or visible separation between the rubber and the metal housing. On a test ride, symptoms of a failing engine mount include excessive vibration through the handlebars or footpegs, a clunking or jolting sensation on throttle application or deceleration, and an audible metallic rattle at idle, particularly when the engine is cold. The mounting should be checked with the bike on a centre stand and the engine running in neutral, looking for any excessive lateral or rotational movement of the power unit relative to the frame. If the damage appears to be progressing beyond what the advisory describes, it should be factored into negotiation or pre-purchase rectification. In addition to the engine mounting, the recent advisory concerning a nail in the tyre has been resolved through repair or replacement, but the buyer should verify the current tyres for even wear patterns, adequate tread depth in accordance with legal requirements, and any signs of perishing or cracking on the sidewalls given the vehicle age. With high annual mileage, the 12V battery should be tested for cranking performance and voltage under load, as frequent short journeys can shorten battery life. Brake calipers, particularly on a motorcycle used regularly in urban traffic, should be inspected for binding and the discs checked for corrosion ridges on the edges and lip measurement against service limits. Finally, the service book should be reviewed for evidence of regular oil and filter changes at the correct intervals, and confirmation sought that time-based fluid replacements such as brake fluid, coolant, and any hydraulic clutch fluid have been carried out, as these degrade with calendar age irrespective of mileage.
