Our Verdict
Recommended as a low-mileage urban commu
Focus your attention on the braking system. The November 2023 MOT failure specifically noted that both the front and rear brakes were 'excessively binding' and the rear pads were thinner than 1.0mm. You should confirm whether the calipers were overhauled or simply cleaned to pass the test, as binding can lead to premature wear and reduced performance.
Check the service records for evidence of regular oil changes and transmission belt inspections. While the mileage is low for a 2013 model, rubber components and fluids can degrade over time regardless of distance traveled.
Running costs for this 125cc petrol scooter are typically very low. Fuel economy is high for urban environments, and the vehicle falls into a low insurance group and a low road tax bracket.
Annual maintenance is generally straightforward, though periodic valve clearances and belt replacements are necessary for this engine type. Total annual costs are expected to be minimal compared to a full-sized motorcycle or car.
Carefully inspect the brakes. Reference the November 2023 failure where both front and rear brakes were recorded as excessively binding; ensure there is no dragging when the wheels are spun by hand. Check the rear brake pad thickness to ensure they have been replaced since the 2023 failure.
Additionally, examine the rear tyre. The December 2023 MOT pass included an advisory stating the rear tyre was worn close to the legal limit. If this has not been replaced, it will be an immediate expense for the new owner.
This red 2013 Honda SH 125 C has recorded 16,109 miles as of its last MOT in December 2023. The vehicle's history shows a failure in November 2023 due to braking and lighting faults, followed by a pass six days later. It offers a low-mileage entry into the 125cc petrol scooter market.
Aggregate MOT data for the Honda SH 125 C is not available, though the SH range is widely utilised for commercial urban delivery due to its design.
