1985 HONDA CBX2500.2L PETROL

The roadworthiness of this vehicle is currently indeterminate due to a lack of MOT data for the past thirteen years. The last recorded test in October 2013 at 32,136 miles showed a pass following a failure just five days prior. While the vehicle successfully cleared issues regarding throttle operation and indicator circuitry, the absence of any testing records since 2013 means it is impossible to verify the current state of the structural integrity, braking system, or safety-critical components. The mileage profile indicates extremely low usage for a 41-year-old motorcycle, averaging fewer than eight hundred miles per annum. Between the July 2006 test at 32,091 miles and the 2013 test at 32,136 miles, the bike covered only 45 miles. This suggests the vehicle spent long periods in stationary storage. Such inactivity often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components, perished seals, and internal corrosion within fluid systems, rather than mechanical wear from high mileage. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the components flagged in the 2013 failure. The tester previously identified a rear wheel rotation likely to be impeded, indicating a binding brake caliper or seized bearing that requires immediate verification. The rear shock absorber was also noted for reduced damping, and the noisy exhaust suggests either loose mounting or internal baffle damage. Given the decade-long gap in records, a thorough check for perished fuel lines, oxidised tyres, and structural rust on the frame is essential before considering the vehicle fit for road use.
