2016 Honda CB 0.5L Petrol · LD16 AEO

The vehicle presents a stable maintenance profile with a clean MOT record at its most recent inspection. The January 2026 test at 17,386 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of successful testing, indicating that the vehicle has been maintained sufficiently to meet minimum legal standards without recurring mechanical or structural failures. The mileage accumulation is exceptionally low for a 2016 model, averaging approximately 1,739 miles per year. The data shows a steady, albeit slow, increase in usage, moving from 6,314 miles in October 2022 to 17,386 miles in January 2026. While the low mileage suggests light use, the significant gaps between tests, such as the period between October 2022 and October 2023, can sometimes indicate the vehicle has sat idle for extended durations. The only recorded failure occurred on 12 October 2023 at 10,949 miles, though the record shows no specific defects were noted for that failure, and it passed the following day. Because the vehicle has covered very few miles, a buyer should focus on components affected by age rather than wear. Specifically, inspect the battery health, fuel quality, and rubber components like tyres, suspension bushes, and brake hoses, as these can degrade through oxidation and lack of use even when mileage remains low. Check for any signs of surface corrosion on the chassis or exhaust system, as vehicles that sit for long periods are susceptible to moisture retention. Given the low usage, the brake discs may show pitting or uneven wear from infrequent application. A physical inspection of the drivetrain and fluids is recommended to ensure that the low mileage has not resulted in moisture contamination or oil degradation.
