2022 Honda WW 125 A-M 0.1L Petrol · LD22 BVL

The most recent MOT, carried out on 17 June 2026, was passed but returned two advisories: the front brake pads are reported as being close to the minimum allowable thickness and the rear tyre tread is approaching the legal limit. As there are no previous failures recorded, the overall maintenance picture appears stable, yet the wear indicators suggest that consumable components are reaching the end of their service life and will require attention before the next test. At 37 577 miles the motorcycle has averaged just under 9 400 miles per annum since its first registration in 2022. This annual usage is typical for a 125 cc model and does not point to any periods of excessive short‑term mileage that would accelerate component fatigue. The mileage figure also implies the machine has not been subject to prolonged storage, which can be a concern for older, low‑use bikes, but it does indicate that wear on the drivetrain, suspension and braking system is consistent with normal riding patterns. Prospective buyers should give particular focus to the front braking system. Measure the pad thickness – any remaining material below 1 mm is likely to be rejected at the next MOT and may already be causing a softer pedal feel or a faint squeal under heavy braking. Inspect the rear tyre for tread depth, side‑wall cracks and any uneven wear that could hint at mis‑alignment or worn suspension bushes. If the tyre is within a few millimetres of the 1.6 mm legal minimum, replacement should be scheduled promptly to avoid a future failure and to maintain safe grip, especially in wet conditions. Beyond the immediate advisories, a four‑year‑old bike warrants a broader calendar‑based check. Verify the condition of the 12 V battery – a load test will reveal any loss of capacity that can cause starting problems after periods of inactivity. Examine the coolant (if liquid‑cooled) and brake fluid for signs of moisture ingress; both should be flushed at least every two years. Look over the coil springs, fork seals and rear shock for oil leaks, corrosion or excessive play, and ensure the chain is correctly tensioned and lubricated. A thorough visual inspection of the exhaust for rust and the frame for any signs of stress or corrosion will round out a comprehensive pre‑purchase appraisal.
