2019 Benelli BN 125 0.1L Petrol · WD19 AYG

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance trend shows a concerning shift toward reactive repairs. While it passed its most recent test in January 2026 at 11,114 miles, it returned with an advisory for a rear tyre worn close to the legal limit. This mirrors a failure from the January 2025 test where the same tyre issue was flagged alongside steering headbearing and suspension defects. The recurring nature of these faults suggests the owner only addresses mechanical issues upon an MOT failure rather than performing proactive preventative maintenance. At 11,114 miles over seven years, the motorcycle has covered very low mileage, averaging approximately 1,588 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap in testing history between October 2022 and January 2024, during which the bike covered only 195 miles. This low-use pattern often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid quality rather than mechanical wear. The appearance of stiff steering head bearings and suspension play in later tests is consistent with a vehicle that sits for long periods despite the low odometer reading. A buyer must specifically inspect the steering head assembly to address the stiffness and notchy feel noted in 2025, as this requires a teardown and replacement to ensure stable handling. The rear suspension also warrants scrutiny; the record shows a worn bush in 2022 that escalated into a failure for excessive play in a suspension component by 2025. Additionally, the buyer should verify the front stop lamp wiring, given the previous failure of that electrical circuit, and check the drive chain and sprocket for proper tension and wear patterns as identified in the 2022 inspection.
