HONDA CBR900RR1993 · 0.9L PETROL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on its most recent certification, though the data is now significantly outdated. The last recorded test in May 2017 at 25,251 miles showed the motorcycle passing without any defects or advisories. This indicates that the mechanical issues identified in previous years were successfully rectified at that time. However, because no MOT has been performed for nearly nine years, the current roadworthiness of the motorcycle cannot be verified through records alone, and a physical inspection is mandatory. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 33-year-old machine, averaging approximately 765 miles per year. Between September 2005 and May 2017, the vehicle covered only 878 miles, suggesting it was kept in storage or used very sparingly for over a decade. This low usage implies the bike likely sat stationary for long periods. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, stationary vehicles often lead to material degradation, such as perished rubber seals, seized brake calipers, and internal corrosion within fuel systems, which are not reflected in the low mileage reading. A buyer must focus on the components that failed during the 2005 inspection to ensure they have not degraded since the bike sat idle. The tester previously flagged rough front wheel bearings, slightly rough rear bearings, and cracked offside rear brake discs, which should be checked for play and surface pitting. Given the history of a leaking exhaust and incorrect alignment, the entire exhaust system and fork geometry require a thorough check. Furthermore, the nine-year gap in MOT records means the condition of the tyres and brake fluid lines is critical, as these components fail through age regardless of the low mileage recorded.
