1995 Honda CBR900RR 0.9L Petrol · N492 AWP

The vehicle’s most recent MOT, conducted on 25 March 2025 at 26,903 miles , confirms it passed without any recorded defects, indicating current roadworthiness. The absence of advisories or failures across all five tests—spanning 2021 to 2025 —suggests a stable maintenance trend, though the lack of defects does not preclude hidden wear, particularly in high-stress components like the suspension, drivetrain, or electrical systems. The 12-month gap between the 2023 and 2025 tests is standard, but the 2022 to 2023 interval was also 12 months, reinforcing a consistent testing schedule. No recurring faults were logged, which is unusual for a vehicle of this age, but this does not rule out deferred maintenance or cosmetic deterioration. The recorded mileage of 26,903 miles over 31 years equates to approximately 868 miles per year , a figure far below typical annual usage for a sportbike of this era. The minimal mileage progression —just 525 miles in four years —implies prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate degradation of rubber components (seals, hoses, tyres) and increase corrosion risk from moisture exposure. The consistency in mileage between tests (e.g., 26,369 to 26,637 miles between 2021 and 2022) suggests the vehicle was likely stored rather than ridden, a factor that could have contributed to the absence of wear-related MOT failures. Given the low mileage and lack of MOT advisories, a buyer should prioritise an independent inspection of suspension components , including bushings, coil springs, and steering dampers , as these are prone to perishing even with minimal use. The braking system —particularly rear calipers and discs—should be checked for binding or uneven wear, though no historical failures were noted. Electrical connections , especially around the ignition and lighting circuits, warrant scrutiny, as oxidation can occur even in stored vehicles. Structural integrity , including frame welds and fuel tank integrity, should be examined for corrosion, while tyre tread depth —despite no MOT failures—may have degraded over the storage periods. The exhaust system should be inspected for leaks or rust, as emissions compliance was not explicitly tested beyond the MOT pass.
