2022 Honda CBF 125 M-M 0.1L Petrol · LS71 WMF

The vehicle's roadworthiness shows a highly unstable and concerning trend, characterised by severe mechanical and structural failures. While the most recent test on 2 March 2026 at 99,521 miles resulted in a pass, this followed a catastrophic failure just weeks earlier in January. The March pass only addressed a worn rear tyre, leaving the extensive structural and steering issues identified in the January failure seemingly unaddressed or poorly rectified. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally high for a 2022 model, averaging nearly 25,000 miles per year. A significant jump occurred between 12 February 2025 at 63,015 miles and 26 January 2026 at 97,910 miles, representing nearly 35,000 miles in less than a year. This intense usage pattern explains the rapid degradation of consumables, but the severity of the defects suggests more than just routine wear. A prospective buyer must conduct a rigorous physical inspection of the chassis and steering assembly. The January 2026 failure detailed critical defects including a deformed handlebar, deformed front forks, and a compromised fork yoke, which the tester noted likely affected the motorcycle's structural integrity and steering control. The record also flagged a loose rear wheel spindle and excessive rear wheel bearing play, indicating potential issues with the rear hub and axle assembly. The history also indicates recurring issues with lighting and suspension. The February 2025 failure noted a serious fluid leak from the front shock absorber and faulty brake light circuits. Given the recent failure regarding headlamp aim and the previous issues with stop lamps, the electrical system and front fork seals require close scrutiny. The sheer volume of major structural defects in the January 2026 test suggests this vehicle has likely suffered a significant impact.
