Honda Mtx125rw H (1990)
1990 Honda Mtx125rw H
CarHunch is tracking 228 1990 Honda Mtx125rw H vehicles on UK roads. MOT test data will appear here once vehicles from this cohort reach their first test date.
This 1990 Honda MTX125RW is in serious trouble: just 2% of the 228 analysed vehicles passed their MOT first time, compared to the UK average of 80%. With zero dangerous defects recorded across the cohort, the failures aren't safety-critical, but they're clearly widespread and stubborn.
These are 34-year-old motorcycles with modest mileage (median 20,444 miles), yet the near-total MOT failure rate tells you that age and storage degradation are the real enemies here—not hard use. If you're considering one, budget for a full recommissioning by a specialist before riding it on the road.
We have 228 1990 Honda Mtx125rw H vehicles on record but don't have enough MOT test data to show reliable statistics for this cohort.
What to check before buying a 1990 Honda Mtx125rw H
Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.
- 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
- 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
- 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
- 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
