HONDA CD250U1993 · 0.2L PETROL

The most recent MOT for this 1993 Honda CD250U was recorded on 2013-11-05, over 13 years ago. This long gap between inspections raises concerns, as the vehicle has not been assessed for safety or roadworthiness in over a decade. The last recorded mileage was 18,356 miles, meaning the bike has likely accumulated minimal use since then, given its age. However, low mileage does not guarantee mechanical soundness—periods of inactivity can lead to issues like fluid degradation, battery drain, or component corrosion. The MOT history shows a recurring issue with the drive chain. In 2012-04-24, it was noted as "slightly loose," and in 2013-11-05, "worn but not excessive." These findings suggest ongoing maintenance needs for this critical component. While neither defect was classified as a failure, the chain’s condition warrants close scrutiny. No other major defects were recorded in the 2010 or 2008 MOTs, indicating a relatively clean history prior to 2012. However, the lack of recent inspections means there is no data on whether these issues have worsened. The vehicle’s low mileage (around 556 miles per year) implies it may have been lightly used or stored for extended periods.
