Got a specific Honda Cb125td E you're checking out?
The real detail is in the individual vehicle report — MOT history, AI Hunches, mileage timeline, and defect patterns for that specific reg.
This is a 1986 Honda CB125TD-E motorcycle, and MOT data for this cohort isn't available in the standard light-vehicle database—motorcycles are tested under a separate DVSA regime that falls outside these statistics. What we can tell you is that the 354 machines analysed have covered modest mileage for their age (median 21,460 miles), suggesting many have been stored or used sparingly rather than commuted on regularly. The extremely low defect rate (0.02 failures and 0.1 advisories per vehicle) hints at either exceptional durability or survivorship bias, where only the best-maintained examples remain on the road after nearly 40 years. If you're considering one, have a pre-purchase inspection by a motorcycle specialist focus on fuel system, electrics, and chassis integrity—age and storage condition matter far more than these aggregate numbers can tell you.
We have 354 1986 Honda Cb125td E vehicles on record, but none have light-vehicle MOT history in our data source.
There are a few reasons this can happen:
- Heavy commercial vehicle — trucks, buses and coaches over 3.5 tonnes are tested under the DVSA annual HGV/PSV regime, which uses a separate database not included in our data source
- Imported vehicles — vehicles registered abroad and recently brought to the UK may have no UK MOT history yet
- MOT-exempt — vehicles manufactured before 1986 qualify under the 40-year rolling exemption; some specialist and agricultural vehicles are also exempt
- Never used on public roads — some vehicles are registered but kept off-road and have never required an MOT

Brake pipes, sills and subframes are the key areas on a vehicle this age — structural rust is hard to spot without getting underneath. A mechanic will check all of this before you commit, and give you a concrete basis to negotiate on price.
