1981 Honda CB 0.6L Petrol · BFW 963W

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 2023-04-25 at 4,498 miles, recorded a pass with no defects. This indicates the bike met roadworthiness standards at that time, but the absence of subsequent tests—over three years old as of 2026—raises concerns about its current compliance. No recurring faults or structural issues were flagged in the single recorded test, suggesting a stable maintenance trend. However, the lack of updated data limits confidence in its ongoing mechanical integrity. The recorded mileage of 4,498 miles over 45 years equates to roughly 100 miles annually, an exceptionally low figure for a vehicle of this age. Such minimal usage may indicate prolonged periods of inactivity, increasing risks of fluid degradation, rubber component failure, or corrosion. The single MOT entry provides no insight into prior maintenance or potential hidden issues, as no historical records are available. This sparse data set offers limited reassurance about the bike’s condition beyond its 2023 inspection. A buyer should prioritise inspecting the suspension system for hardened bushes or coil springs, as prolonged inactivity can cause stiffness or failure. Brake components, including discs and calipers, should be checked for corrosion or binding, particularly if the bike has not been ridden regularly. The exhaust system and emissions controls, though not flagged in 2023, may require scrutiny due to potential age-related deterioration. Given the expired MOT, verifying the vehicle’s current compliance and addressing storage-related wear are critical before purchase.
