Honda Ww 125 Ex2 H (2017)
2017 Honda Ww 125 Ex2 H
CarHunch analysed 338 real MOT records for the 2017 Honda Ww 125 Ex2 H. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
This 2017 Honda WW 125 EX2-H is a serious reliability concern — only 10.3% pass MOT first time against the UK average of 80%, and nearly 9 in 10 vehicles need work before they can be legally driven. Just 4.1% have suffered dangerous defects, which is reassuring on safety grounds, but the sheer scale of repeat failures suggests systemic issues with this model year.
At 22,454 miles median, these bikes are lightly used for their age, yet still accumulate an average of 0.11 failures and 0.3 advisories each — pointing to design or build problems rather than owner neglect. Before buying one, get a pre-purchase inspection by a Honda specialist and budget for immediate remedial work; the MOT history alone indicates this cohort needs fixing before it's roadworthy.
What to check before buying a 2017 Honda Ww 125 Ex2 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.
