2008 Honda VT 125 C-6 0.1L Petrol · WK08 UEN

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status, but the maintenance history reveals a reactive rather than proactive approach. While it passed its most recent test in December 2025 at 15,140 miles, it had failed that same session due to a failed rear stop lamp and a pitted front brake disc. The trend suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they trigger an MOT failure, rather than performing routine preventative maintenance between annual testing intervals. At 18 years old, the recorded mileage of 15,140 miles is exceptionally low for this Honda, averaging only about 840 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between July 2023 (6,780 miles) and September 2024 (10,650 miles), where the bike covered nearly 4,000 miles in fourteen months. This low mileage often indicates long periods of standing, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components, seized seals, and internal corrosion in fluids despite the low mechanical wear on the drivetrain. A buyer must inspect the front braking system specifically, as the 2025 test flagged the disc as worn and scored following a previous advisory for thin pads in 2024. The recurring failure for tyre tread depth in 2023 indicates that consumables are run until they reached legal limits before replacement, which is a common trait of low-use vehicles. Check the drive chain tension and condition, which was noted as loose in 2024, and inspect the tyres for dry rot or flat spotting that often affects aged bikes that sit stationary for extended periods.
