HONDA CB2501995 · 0.2L PETROL

The 1995 Honda CB250 has a recorded mileage of 79,322 miles, making it 31 years old as of 2026. This equates to an average of 2,559 miles per year, which is low for its age. Such low mileage may indicate light use or extended periods of inactivity, which can lead to issues like component stiffness, fluid degradation, or corrosion. However, the vehicle’s age alone suggests significant wear on non-consumable parts, regardless of mileage. The most recent MOT on 2015-09-17 showed the drive chain and sprocket carrier were worn but not excessive, and rear wheel bearings had slight free play. These findings align with earlier entries, such as the 2014-08-30 MOT, which noted front brake pads close to minimum and slightly worn discs. A prior 2014-08-29 failure highlighted the sprocket carrier worn to excess, suggesting unresolved wear in this area. While the 2015 MOT indicated some improvement, the recurring mention of drive chain and brake components points to a persistent risk pattern. The trend in defects appears stable rather than worsening. Issues like brake pad wear and chain sprocket degradation were noted across multiple MOTs but did not escalate in severity.
