2022 Honda WW 125 A-M 0.1L Petrol · LB22 OMX

The vehicle passed its most recent MOT on 2026-06-08 at 139,742 miles, but the test record shows a clear deterioration in condition compared to the previous year. The 2025 test identified four separate issues, including a rear tyre at the legal limit, front brake pads near minimum, a front wheel bearing with play, and a stiff steering headbearing. While the 2026 test resolved the tyre and pad concerns, it introduced new advisories for a front shock absorber with oil misting and a worn front brake disc. This pattern indicates a worsening maintenance trend, with wear progressing on multiple fronts despite the recent pass, suggesting consumable replacement has been reactive rather than preventative given the extreme mileage. The recorded mileages reveal exceptionally high usage. The average annual mileage is already high at approximately 34,936 miles per year for a four-year-old vehicle. Critically, the vehicle accumulated 37,930 miles between the 2025-06-04 test (101,812 miles) and the 2026-06-08 test (139,742 miles). This single-year increase is substantially higher than the already elevated yearly average, pointing to a period of very intensive use that would accelerate wear on all mechanical components. The MOT history is sparse, with only these two tests recorded, providing a limited but stark snapshot of rapid degradation under heavy load. A buyer must physically inspect the braking and steering systems as a priority. The recurring brake advisories—worn discs in 2026 and pads near limit in 2025—demand a thorough check of both front discs for thickness, scoring, and run-out, and the pad material depth. The front wheel bearing's previous slight play requires a hands-on check for any roughness or noise when the wheel is spun. The steering headbearing was flagged as stiff in 2025; this must be tested again by slowly turning the handlebars lock-to-lock to feel for any notchiness or binding. Furthermore, the front shock absorber's current oil misting is a precursor to failure and should be examined for significant leakage and damping effectiveness. Finally, all tyres, including the spare, must be checked for tread depth and age, as the previous rear tyre was critically worn.
