1993 Honda CBR400RR 0.4L Petrol · F497 KGJ

The Honda CBR400RR presents a clean roadworthiness position as of the 14 August 2024 test, where the DVSA record shows a pass at 58,746 miles with no defects logged. The maintenance trend reads as stable on paper, though the same date also carries a failed entry at identical mileage and with no defects recorded, an administrative anomaly rather than a mechanical fault. Across the available history the bike cleared every examination without advisories, so no worsening or resolving pattern of wear emerges from the data. Mileage accumulation is strikingly low for a 1993 machine. The record jumps from 56,489 miles at the 6 January 2007 test to 58,468 miles by 6 March 2009, then 58,478 miles on 21 April 2011, and finally 58,746 miles in August 2024. That equates to roughly 268 miles added across four years to 2011 and only 268 miles more in the thirteen years since. The bike sat largely unused for long periods, which the sparse five-entry history confirms without hidden gaps in testing beyond the 2011 to 2024 dormancy. A buyer should still treat the long standing time as a risk to consumables and sealed components not visible in the MOT. Rubber suspension bushes, fork seals, brake caliper pistons and the fuel system will have degraded through inactivity rather than mileage. The tester noted no corrosion or structural issues, yet a 33-year-old frame demands a physical check for pitting at weld points and around the steering head. Given the zero-advisory record, the previous keeper clearly stored the machine rather than rode it hard, but that same storage invites oxidisation on brake discs and stiff linkage movement. Inspect the chain and sprockets, verify the cooling system holds pressure, and confirm the tyres are not original aged rubber before road use.
