2008 Honda CBR125R 0.1L Petrol · LC58 BVY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, showing a stable maintenance trend despite its age. The most recent test in November 2025 at 47,769 miles passed with only a minor advisory noted regarding a bent clutch lever, which is a cosmetic ergonomic issue rather than a mechanical failure. Looking back over the history, the bike has consistently passed its inspections without major structural failures, suggesting that the primary components have remained functional over the last several years. The mileage profile is notably low for an eighteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,650 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between July 2019 and July 2021, where the bike covered only 15,732 miles in two years. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, long periods of standing can lead to degradation of rubber-based components and fluid-related issues. The jump of 11,619 miles between 2020 and 2021 indicates a period of higher activity in recent years. A buyer should specifically inspect the nearside front shock absorber, which was flagged for light oil misting in 2021 at 41,320 miles. While misting is not an immediate failure, it indicates a weeping seal that may eventually require a replacement. The 2019 failure regarding a structural tyre bulge and the subsequent advisory on rear brake effort fluctuation warrant a close look at the brake disc surfaces for thinning or signs of caliper sticking. Given the low annual mileage, verifying the age of the tyres, hoses, and brake lines is critical, as these parts often perish due to age before they wear out from distance.
