HONDA CB 600 F-22002 · 0.6L Petrol

The vehicle currently presents a stable roadworthiness status with a clear improving trend in maintenance discipline. Following a significant failure in April 2022, the motorcycle has passed three consecutive annual inspections without a single defect or advisory entry. The most recent test conducted in July 2025 at 43,913 miles confirms that the previous mechanical issues were rectified and that the bike currently meets all minimum safety standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,830 miles per annum. The data shows minimal movement between the last four tests, with only 120 miles recorded between July 2024 and July 2025, and just 118 miles in the year preceding that. While this suggests low wear on the engine and gearbox, such long periods of inactivity often lead to age-related component degradation, perished seals, and fluid breakdown that MOT tests cannot detect. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the front shock absorbers to ensure the light oil misting noted in 2022 has not progressed into a functional seal failure. Given the low usage, it is vital to check for dry rot in rubber components, specifically hoses, tyres, and fork seals. The exhaust system mentioned in the 2022 failure should be inspected for internal corrosion or manifold leaks to ensure the previous repair remains robust. Additionally, verify the frame and mounting points for structural rust, as long-standing vehicles can suffer from surface corrosion despite low mileage.
