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

The Honda CBF 125 presents a generally stable mechanical condition, passing its most recent MOT on 13 May 2026 at 55,405 miles. The maintenance trend remains consistent, though the latest test flagged minor electrical and drivetrain advisories. The tester recorded a front direction indicator flashing below the required 60 times per minute and a slightly loose drive chain. These are not fail points, but they indicate neglected basic adjustments. The motorcycle continues to pass its inspections without major structural or mechanical failures, suggesting the core components remain sound. Covering roughly 4,262 miles per year, the 55,405-mile total is notably low for a 2013 machine. The records show a significant mileage jump between June 2019 at 11,760 miles and September 2021 at 43,139 miles, followed by a drop to just 3,252 miles over the subsequent two years. This sporadic usage pattern often leads to deterioration of rubber components and corrosion in static parts, despite the low overall mileage. A buyer should inspect the steering and front suspension closely. The tester flagged the steering headbearing as stiff or notchy in May 2025 at 52,235 miles, following a prior advisory in September 2021 regarding deformed linkage and serviceable play. This recurring focus on the steering head area warrants a physical check for pitting or a notchy feel during low-speed turns. The front brake pads were close to the minimum limit in 2025, and the drive chain requires immediate attention for tension. Examine the chain for tight spots and the sprockets for hooking, as loose chains accelerate wear on both. Inspect the wiring and relay systems for the front direction indicator, as a fast flash often points to a failing relay or a draw issue from aged bulbs. Check the exhaust system and fluid levels for signs of stale fuel or moisture ingress, common issues on motorcycles that stand for extended periods between rides.
