1991 Honda VFR400 0.4L Petrol · J929 LMR

The most recent MOT on 21 February 2025 at 44,768 miles recorded a clean pass, indicating that the motorcycle remains road‑worthy as of that date. With no defects noted, the maintenance trend appears stable; there is no evidence of deterioration or recurring faults in the recorded history. The recorded mileage of 44,768 miles over a 35‑year lifespan averages roughly 1,280 miles per year, a figure well below typical usage for a sport‑bike of this vintage. The absence of any mileage spikes between the initial registration and the latest test suggests the machine has been lightly ridden or stored for extended periods, reducing wear on consumable items such as tyres, brake pads and chain components. Although the MOT record shows no advisory items, a prospective buyer should still verify the condition of the suspension bushes, coil springs and rear shock absorber for any signs of oil leakage or loss of damping. Examination of the front and rear brake discs for scoring, and a tactile check of the caliper pistons for binding, will confirm the integrity of the braking system. Visual inspection for corrosion on the frame, especially around the exhaust mounts and swingarm pivots, remains prudent given the bike’s age. A thorough in‑person assessment of tyre tread depth, chain wear and lubrication, and the operation of the clutch and gearbox will complete the due‑diligence. Confirming that the rider‑adjustable levers and controls function smoothly will further assure that the motorcycle is fit for continued use.
