2020 Honda SH 125 AD-L 0.1L Petrol · LB20 GHZ

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent MOT test in April 2026 at 90,483 miles saw the bike pass after failing due to a weakened rear shock absorber and a worn rear tyre. While these specific issues were rectified for the pass, the recurring nature of faults suggests that components are only addressed once they reach the point of failure rather than being replaced during scheduled servicing. The Honda has covered a significant mileage for its six-year age, averaging approximately 15,000 miles per year. There is a notable surge in usage between the December 2024 test at 62,413 miles and the April 2026 test at 90,483 miles, representing 28,070 miles covered in just sixteen months. This high rate of heavy use places considerable strain on the drivetrain, suspension, and braking systems. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests also shows high-frequency operation, which accelerates the wear of consumables and mechanical components. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the rear suspension, as the shock absorber has already been flagged for reduced damping. The high annual mileage necessitates a close look at the chain tension, sprockets, and brake discs for excessive wear. Given the previous failures regarding the stop lamp circuit in both 2024 and 2026, the wiring and brake light switches should be tested for consistent operation. Because the bike has been driven extensively, checking the depth of all remaining tyres and the condition of the forks is vital to ensure no immediate expenditure is required beyond the purchase price.
