Buying bike with no mot insurance and tax

[maaa242]

Hello.
Im just staring my expirience with bikes and looking to buy second hand 125 bike so I can learn and get my full licence next year.
I was looking to buy Honda cbf and they are not bad in price and pretty good to learn on.
I found one which is from 2013 and have only 2500 miles done but guy which is selling it didn't renew mot insurance or tax and bike was not sorn'ed.
Bike looks like theres nothing wrong with it but guy was just not bothered to do any of it.
My question is how difficult it will be to get bike mot'd insured and taxed. Is there gonna be any problems because he didn't do all that and bike was not sorn'ed?
What i should look for when Im gonna look at the bike?

If there was nothing wrong with the bike have him MOT it, it does not cost much and you know you are getting a bike that is at least road worthy.

Tax is now non transferable so you get tax yourself anyways.

Insurance is piss easy to sort out the usual way.

Insurance and tax are reliant on it having an MOT, which it does not

How difficult is it to get the MOT? Well, that depends on if it passes/fails, and what it would fail on

If you have the reg number, check the MOT history to give you an idea of what it might need from previous advisories

I'm always cautious of any 'bargain' advertised as easy/quick fix, because if it was so easy/cheap, why not get it done and sell it for more?

Bike doesn't look like there's anything wrong with it to be fair.
Bloke didn't get mot as he use to use tit to commute and now he's got a car and bike is just sitting in his garage.
When I go to see him today I will get reg plate number and check if he had any failed mot or if its hpi.

If the current owner hasn't been arsed to do any of that, might give you an indication as to how he's looked after in the time they've had it, just a thought. Oh, any outstanding finance on the bike, probably not, but worth checking.

I'm 30 but like I said it's my first expirience buying bike and when I bought my car it was new so not really any expirience buying from private seller.

Same bike also advertised here as a 1.3 litre, 5-door Toyota YARIS.

Only reason I can think of why he wouldn't her mot done is that he didn't want to her insurance and tax or get someone to take bike in the van just to get mot done if he wasn't planning to use it

I've seen a bike and guy is selling bike for his uncle as he's got cancer or something like it and one of the reasons why bike was not insured etc and it's sorn'ed.
To be fair bike looks really good.
Kept well no sign of anything wrong with.
Few spots of rust but they are tiny.

2013 bike with few miles suggests it's been sat a while which isn't a good thing. How old are the tyres? If they're the originals I wouldn't ride on them. Likely to crack the sidewalls within the first mile.

[Easy-X]

I wouldn't buy it because the seller couldn't even be bothered to rotate the photos correctly! GGGGRrrrrrrrr Alternatively...

"Well I have to sort out the MoT and then when I tax it I'll probably get a load of shit from the DVLA. It'll need a full service as it's been sat about, probably new tyres too...

"...so how about £500, cash? And throw in the cover."

I wouldn't touch it with the proverbial bargepole. However, if you insist on pursuing it, get the vrm off the owner and run all the dvla checks to see if this matches the sellers story. Also carry out an HPI check to see if there are any other outstanding financial interests in the bike and also whether its been stolen or a write off. If all in order go and see it with someone who knows what they are looking at and is prepared to be honest and critical about its condition.
