2022 Honda WW 125 A-M 0.1L Petrol · LN22 ULF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 30 May 2026—just two months ago—confirmed full roadworthiness with no defects recorded at 87,612 miles. This marks a clear improvement from the previous cycle, where the March 2026 test at 84,242 miles also passed without issues. However, the 2025 cycle reveals a concerning pattern: the vehicle failed on 21 March 2025 at 64,854 miles for three distinct faults—offside front brake lamp, insecure handlebar grip, and insufficient brake lever travel—before passing the following day at 64,855 miles with a minor alignment note. While the most recent tests suggest the vehicle is currently compliant, the 2025 failure indicates unresolved issues that were either rectified or overlooked between tests. The mileage progression suggests unusually high annual usage, averaging over 21,900 miles per year since 2022. This is aggressive for a scooter of this age, particularly given the 12,387-mile gap between the 2025 and 2026 tests, which implies either extended storage or a period of minimal use. The sudden jump from 64,855 to 84,242 miles between March 2025 and March 2026—nearly 20,000 miles in a year—may warrant scrutiny of how the vehicle was maintained during this period, especially given the brake and electrical faults that surfaced at the lower mileage. A prospective buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of the braking system, particularly the rear brake lever travel and offside front brake caliper, as these were flagged in the 2025 failure. The handlebar grip insecurity suggests either wear on the clamp mechanism or improper installation, which could recur. Given the high mileage, the suspension bushes and coil springs should be visually inspected for cracking or excessive play, while the front wheel alignment—though minor—may indicate uneven tyre wear or steering component wear. Corrosion around the wheel arches, frame, and exhaust should also be checked, as scooters are prone to rust in these areas after prolonged exposure. The electrical system, including brake lamps and handlebar controls, should be tested for reliability, as the 2025 failure highlights potential neglect in this area.
