2007 Honda CBR 125 RW-6 0.1L Petrol · PE07 NWY

The 2007 Honda CBR125 presents a clean and stable roadworthiness record. The most recent MOT, conducted on 26 June 2025 at 4,775 miles, passed with zero defects. This outcome, combined with four consecutive flawless tests stretching back to February 2021, indicates a consistent and improving maintenance trend. No recurring mechanical or structural faults have been flagged across the entire recorded history. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a machine of this age. Between the February 2021 test at 2,733 miles and the June 2025 test at 4,775 miles, the motorcycle covered just 2,042 miles over four years and four months. That equates to roughly 470 miles per annum during that window, following an even lower 251 miles per year average across its full nineteen-year lifespan. Such minimal use suggests prolonged periods of standing, which carries its own risks despite the clean paperwork. A buyer should not mistake low mileage for zero wear. Tyres, brake fluid, and coolant degrade with age regardless of use, and the original rubber suspension bushes and fork seals on a 2007 machine will have hardened over time. The rear brake caliper and disc should be inspected for surface corrosion or binding, as infrequent riding promotes pad stick and disc pitting even when the system passes an emissions and function check. Chain and sprocket condition deserves close scrutiny; a lightly used chain can rust and seize if never cleaned or lubricated. Structurally, the frame, swingarm, and stand mounting points must be examined for cosmetic corrosion, particularly around the steering head and rear subframe where moisture collects during storage. The exhaust system, especially the header joints and silencer seams, should be checked for hairline cracks or rust-through that a brief MOT idle test may not reveal. A short test ride under load will confirm whether the clutch, gearbox, and throttle response remain smooth, as static checks cannot replicate real-world stress on a machine that has spent much of its life stationary.
