1996 Honda CBR125 0.1L Petrol · P767 EOA

The 1996 Honda CBR125 presents a stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent test on 23 August 2025 at 8,852 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, continuing an unbroken sequence of clean MOT outcomes across the five available entries from 2021 to 2025. The maintenance trend shows no deterioration and no advisories were raised at any stage, indicating the machine has been presented for test in sound mechanical condition each year. The recorded mileage reflects extremely light use for a thirty-year-old vehicle. From the 1 September 2021 test at 6,652 miles to the 23 August 2025 test at 8,852 miles, the machine covered just 2,200 miles over four years, an average of roughly 550 miles annually. The single largest yearly increment was between the 2022 and 2023 tests, where mileage rose from 7,184 to 8,040, a 856-mile gain. Such low accumulation suggests prolonged storage periods rather than regular riding, though the DVSA record itself is sparse and free of any flagged corrosion, worn suspension bushes, or brake defects. A buyer should still verify in person the condition of components prone to degradation through standing rather than use. Long idle periods on a machine of this age commonly cause hardened fork seals, perished coolant hoses, and oxidised electrical connectors not captured by MOT checks. The tester recorded no structural rust or exhaust emissions failures, yet a close inspection of the frame, swinging arm, and wheel bearings remains prudent given the vehicle's age. Tyres and brake discs should be physically examined for flat spotting or surface pitting from disuse, despite the clean test history. The absence of advisories across all five tests implies previous owners addressed consumables before each examination, but the 295-mile yearly average means original-age rubber may still be fitted. Confirm the chain and sprockets show no tight spots before committing to purchase.
