Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Prioritise a thorough inspection of the drive chain and sprockets; this component caused MOT failures in both April 2024 (worn) and September 2025 (excessively loose), suggesting inconsistent maintenance. You should request evidence of the repair carried out for the 'seriously weakened' suspension arm recorded in April 2024 to ensure the fix was permanent and professional.
Check the service history for regular oil changes and general upkeep. The fact that the bike failed on tyre tread depth below 1.0mm in 2025 suggests the previous owner may have overlooked basic safety checks, which should prompt a more rigorous inspection of all wearing parts.
As a 125cc petrol motorcycle, this Honda is designed for high fuel efficiency and low-cost commuting. It will fall into a low tax bracket and a generally affordable insurance group, making it an economical choice for urban travel.
Typical maintenance costs will involve regular chain lubrication, tyre replacements, and oil changes. Given the history of chain and tyre issues on this specific bike, budget for immediate preventative maintenance to avoid future MOT failures. The estimated annual cost covers fuel, tax, insurance, and basic servicing.
Inspect the front tyre valve stem, as the August 2026 MOT noted it was slightly damaged. Closely examine the swingarm and suspension components for any signs of the corrosion that led to the 'seriously weakened' failure in April 2024.
Test the front brakes for any signs of 'grabbing', referencing the severe issue recorded in early 2024. Finally, check the tension and condition of the drive chain to ensure it has been properly replaced or adjusted following the repeated failures seen in the MOT history.
This red 2015 Honda CBF 125 has recorded 29,455 miles. The MOT history is mixed, featuring a recent pass in August 2026, but also highlighting significant failures in 2024 and 2025 related to the drive chain, brakes, and chassis corrosion. It represents a low-mileage option for a 125cc commuter, provided the previous mechanical failures have been permanently rectified.
Aggregate data for the Honda CBF is unavailable, though the 125cc range is typically noted for mechanical simplicity.
