1987 Honda XBR500-H 0.5L Petrol · D804 DLY

The Honda XBR500-H passed its most recent MOT on 6 November 2025 at 54,135 miles with no defects recorded, confirming a stable maintenance trend and a roadworthy status at that time. The single clean test result shows no recurring faults, advisories, or worsening conditions across the available history. The recorded mileage of 54,135 miles against a 39-year lifespan equates to roughly 1,388 miles per year, marking this as a low-use machine. The only logged test dates from the supplied record are the November 2025 pass at that exact figure, so no rapid accumulation or notable gaps can be measured beyond the sparse single entry. Such low annual use over nearly four decades often means long standing periods rather than consistent rider wear. A buyer should still inspect the motorcycle in person for issues the MOT may not capture on a one-off clean sheet. Standing time invites perished suspension seals, cracked tyres, and internal corrosion in the fuel system or exhaust. The tester logged no structural rust or brake defects in November 2025, but check the frame, wheel bearings, and fork stanchions closely given the age. Given the absence of any prior failures or advisories, previous ownership appears to have maintained basic statutory compliance. Confirm the chain, sprockets, and electrical items function correctly, as these consumables degrade with age regardless of the low mileage shown.
