2004 Honda CBR 600 RR-4 0.6L Petrol · JAY 52V

The 2004 Honda CBR600RR-4 presents a stable roadworthiness status as of its most recent test on 26 July 2025 at 25,225 miles, where the DVSA record shows a pass with no defects recorded. A failed entry logged on the same date at identical mileage carries no listed defects, which points to an administrative or non-mechanical rejection rather than a fault-driven failure. The prior pass on 13 July 2024 at 24,292 miles also recorded no advisories, so the maintenance trend across the last two annual cycles is clean and non-worsening. The odometer shows 25,225 miles against 22 years of age, equating to roughly 1,147 miles per year. Between the July 2024 and July 2025 tests the machine covered only 933 miles, confirming extremely light use. Such low accumulation over a long lifespan typically means extended standing periods, which can allow fluid degradation, caliper seizure, and tyre sidewall cracking even when the MOT shows a clear sheet. A buyer should still inspect the machine in person for issues the MOT will not capture on a clean pass. Check the front and rear suspension forks for weepage and the linkage bushes for play, since 22 years of age invites rubber perishment regardless of mileage. Examine brake calipers for binding after standing, and confirm the exhaust system has no internal corrosion or blown silencer welds. Verify the tyres are not original or date-expired, as 933 miles of annual use often sees owners delaying replacement far beyond rubber safe life. The structural frame and swingarm should show no hidden rust at mounting points. The record implies a lightly ridden, basic-compliance machine, but physical inspection remains essential given the age.
