2007 Honda CBR 125 RW-6 0.1L Petrol · TF07 VOY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. While the most recent test in August 2024 at 21,842 miles resulted in a pass, the immediate failure on that same day highlights neglected mechanical and electrical items. The recurring nature of the loose drive chain and lighting failures across multiple testing years suggests that the owner only addresses faults when necessitated by an MOT failure rather than performing routine preventative checks. At 19 years old, the recorded 21,842 miles represent exceptionally low usage, averaging approximately 1,150 miles per year. There is a significant three-year gap between the December 2020 and May 2023 tests, during which the bike covered only 6,133 miles. Such low-mile patterns often lead to age-related degradation of rubber components and surface corrosion on metal. The 2020 record already noted corrosion on the rear shock and front exhaust, which is consistent with a vehicle that sits for long periods. A buyer must specifically inspect the drive chain and sprockets, as this component was flagged in three consecutive tests, moving from excessively loose in 2023 to slightly loose in 2024. The footbrake pivot was noted as excessively worn in 2023, requiring a physical check of the braking linkage for excessive play. Given the low mileage and age, a thorough inspection should also focus on perished rubber brake lines and degraded seals, as these components often fail due to time rather than wear.
