2009 Honda CBF125 0.1L Petrol · YT09 TZB

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile with an improving maintenance trend following recent repairs. The most recent MOT conducted in March 2025 at 21,319 miles passed with no defects recorded, indicating that the motorcycle currently meets all minimum safety standards. This follows a period in early 2024 where the bike passed just one day after a failure, suggesting that the owner is proactive in addressing identified faults immediately. The mileage profile is unusually low for a seventeen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,254 miles per year. However, there is a significant discrepancy in usage patterns between January 2022 and March 2024, where the vehicle covered 14,663 miles in just two years. Since that peak, usage has dropped sharply, with only 1,014 miles recorded between the last two annual tests. Such intermittent bursts of use often indicate the vehicle has sat for extended periods, which can lead to the degradation of rubber components and fluid quality despite low mechanical wear. A buyer should perform a physical inspection focusing on components that suffer from age rather than just mileage. Given the low annual mileage, inspect the fork seals for weeping, the tyres for perished rubber, and the brake lines for cracking. The MOT history shows no recurring structural corrosion or persistent mechanical failures, but the failures in 2022 and 2024 suggest that minor mechanical items occasionally require attention. Ensure the chain and sprockets are not excessively seized, as low-use bikes often suffer from surface rust on the drivetrain.
