2017 Honda CBR 0.5L Petrol · HV17 AEA

This vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a clean record of passes. The most recent MOT on 2 May 2025 at 7,246 miles was completed without any defects or advisories. This follows a consistent pattern of clean tests dating back to 2021, indicating a vehicle that has been kept in a condition meeting all legal requirements. The mileage is exceptionally low for a nine year old motorcycle, averaging roughly 805 miles per year. Between November 2022 and May 2025, the odometer increased by only 2,179 miles. While the lack of recorded defects is positive, such low usage often suggests the bike has spent significant periods standing. The failure on 25 November 2022 was resolved within four days, though the record does not specify the fault, which is unusual for a failed test. A buyer should focus on components affected by inactivity rather than wear and tear. Check for perished tyres and degraded brake fluid, as these deteriorate regardless of mileage. Inspect the fuel system for deposits and verify the battery health, given the low annual usage. Ensure the chain is properly lubricated and not seized, as long periods of standing can lead to surface corrosion on the drivetrain and brake discs.
