2020 Honda SH 125 AD-K 0.1L Petrol · LB69 UNE

A significant lapse in MOT compliance since February 2023 defines this vehicle's current status, coupled with a history of critical safety failures. The last recorded test on 3 February 2023 only achieved a pass after an initial failure involving dangerous defects. These included front brake pads worn below 1.0mm and a failure of the stop lamp to illuminate via both brake controls, indicating the vehicle was previously operated in an unsafe condition. The recorded mileage of 52,374 miles is consistent with typical usage for a six-year-old scooter, averaging approximately 8,729 miles per year. However, the absence of any MOT records between February 2023 and September 2026 suggests a prolonged period of inactivity or undocumented use. Such a hiatus often leads to the degradation of perishable components and can result in the seizure of moving parts, which may offset the neutrality of the overall mileage accumulation. Given the dangerous failure of the front brake pads in 2023, a thorough inspection of the current braking system is essential. During a test drive, feel for any pulsation in the brake lever or a lack of immediate bite, which could indicate glazed discs or poor pad quality. Ensure the stop lamp functions correctly from both the handlebar and foot controls to verify the previous safety defect has been permanently resolved. Because the vehicle has not been tested for over three years, particular attention must be paid to the condition of the tyres and the integrity of the braking system. Check for flat spots on the tyres and listen for any unusual noises from the drivetrain or suspension that may have developed during a period of standing. Verify that the battery holds a charge and that there are no leaks from the fuel or oil systems resulting from long-term storage.
