Firstly, a 125 isn't a moped.
I presume you mean he's riding it using the provisional entitlement you get with a car licence? You need CBT for a 125 whenever you got your car
licence, it's only mopeds (< 50cc) you can ride without CBT and even then only if you got your car licence before Feb 2001.

I reckon everyone who turns to bikes needs a CBT. Having it on his license just means he's entitled to ride a bike but doesn't mean CBT is
not required.
Advise him to go get it done!

His insurance may well want to see it anyway.

You now need a cbt regardless. You cant get on a 50 anymore with a full car licence. Still need cbt

you can if your car licence was issued before 2001.... but you need a cbt for anything bigger than a 50.. i can't be arsed with it so will
stick with the moped for the daily 2 mile run to the train station...
