1998 Honda CG125 0.1L Petrol · R411 ADC

An unusually low usage profile defines this vehicle, which has maintained a relatively stable roadworthiness record despite a single failure in August 2022. The most recent MOT test on 10 August 2023 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded, following a failure the previous month where the nearside rear direction indicator was found to be adversely affected by the operation of another lamp. Aside from this specific electrical lighting issue, the testing history shows no recurring mechanical failures or persistent advisories. The recorded mileage of 9,192 miles over a 28-year lifespan represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 328 miles. This exceptionally low mileage suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary or has been used only for very infrequent short trips. Mechanically, while this indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain, engine internals, and braking surfaces, such long-term inactivity can lead to the degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluids that are not subject to regular movement. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components that can suffer from age-related deterioration regardless of mileage. Given the low annual usage, it is necessary to inspect the condition of rubber hoses, fuel lines, and various seals for signs of perishing or cracking. During a test ride, pay close attention to the smoothness of the throttle response and the integrity of the fuel system to ensure that long periods of standing have not caused internal blockages or leaks. Specific attention should also be paid to the electrical system to ensure the previous lighting failure remains resolved. Check that all indicators, brake lights, and headlamps operate independently without interference from other circuits. Additionally, inspect the tyres for age-related cracking on the sidewalls and check the drive chain for any signs of seizing or excessive corrosion, as these are common issues for vehicles that undergo long periods of inactivity between uses.
