2008 Honda VT 125 C-6 0.1L Petrol · WN58 JDX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy and demonstrates a stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 17 July 2025 at 8,708 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the mechanical and safety issues identified in previous years were addressed. This clean result following the significant 2013 failure suggests the bike has been maintained to a functional standard in recent years. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 484 miles per year. There is a notable two-year gap between the June 2011 test at 4,986 miles and the July 2013 test at 8,592 miles, which suggests the vehicle sat stationary for extended periods. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, prolonged storage often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, seals, and fluid chemistry which are not captured by mileage figures alone. A physical inspection should focus on the components affected by age and inactivity rather than use. The 2013 failure highlighted a binding rear roller brake and insufficient tyre tread depth, requiring the buyer to verify that the brake mechanism remains free-moving and that tyres are not perished or cracked despite having deep tread. Given the long intervals between use, check the fuel lines for cracking and the fork seals for leaks, as are common with vehicles that spend much of their time parked.
