2004 Honda FES125 0.1L Petrol · PX04 HFW

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test on 27 June 2024 at 24,551 miles resulted in a pass with no recorded defects, despite an initial failure on the same day. This immediate failure followed by a clean pass suggests a minor, rectified issue or perhaps an administrative error in the initial entry rather than a systemic mechanical failure. Since the 2021 test, the motorcycle has consistently met minimum standards without accumulating advisories. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,116 miles per year. Between June 2021 and June 2024, the bike covered only 1,087 miles, moving from 23,464 to 24,551 miles. This low usage indicates light annual operation, which typically reduces wear on the drivetrain, engine internals, and gearbox. However, the consistent intervals of roughly 600 miles between 2022 and 2024 suggest the vehicle likely sits for long periods, which can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid chemistry. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components affected by long-term storage rather than mechanical wear. Check for perished fuel lines, cracked fork boots, and seized brake calipers which often occur on low-mileage machines. Inspect the frame for structural corrosion or pitting, as the age of the vehicle poses a risk to integrity regardless of the miles driven. Given the low mileage, verify the age of the tyres and brake pads, as the tread depth may be sufficient while the compound has hardened over time.
