2013 Honda CBF 125 M-D 0.1L Petrol · PN13 BVG

The vehicle remains roadworthy, but the maintenance trend shows a recent decline in attention to consumable components. The most recent test in April 2024 at 16,575 miles identified several avoidable defects that were not present in previous years. The tester flagged a front tyre worn to the legal limit with visible sidewall cracks, alongside a perished rear valve stem. These issues indicate that while the motorcycle is mechanically functional, basic preventative maintenance has been neglected in the current term. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a thirteen-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,275 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between July 2019 and July 2021, where the bike covered only 663 miles over two years. Since then, the usage has increased slightly, covering over 5,000 miles to reach the 2024 test. This low mileage generally suggests minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it also increases the risk of rubber-based components degrading due to long periods of standing. A buyer must inspect the tyres immediately for dry rot and deep cracking, as the 2024 record confirms the rubber is already failing despite the low mileage. Because the bike has sat for long intervals, check the brake calipers for seizing and examine the fork seals for leaks caused by lack of movement. You should also look for surface corrosion on the frame and exhaust bolts, as low-use vehicles often suffer from atmospheric rust rather than mechanical wear-and-tear.
