1998 Honda CBR900RR 0.9L Petrol · R901 COA

The 1998 Honda CBR900RR presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent MOT test on 21 March 2025 at 37,820 miles which recorded no defects. Prior tests on 2 April 2024 at 36,625 miles, 31 March 2023 at 35,406 miles, and 1 April 2022 at 34,173 miles all passed cleanly. The single failure logged on 1 April 2022 at 34,173 miles shows no defects recorded, indicating an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault. The recorded mileage of 37,820 miles against 28 years of age equates to roughly 1,351 miles per year, marking this machine as exceptionally low-use for its class. Annual increments stay tight: 1,257 miles between the 2022 and 2023 tests, 1,219 miles to 2024, and 1,195 miles to 2025. No gaps or sudden accumulation appear in the DVSA data. The clean advisory history across four successive passes suggests the previous keeper stored the bike well and addressed consumables before each test. A buyer should still inspect the CBR900RR in person for age-related degradation invisible to the MOT record. Long standing periods risk perished suspension bushes, hardened fork seals, and flat-spotted tyres despite adequate tread. The absence of corrosion advisories is reassuring, but check the frame, swingarm pivot, and exhaust headers for structural rust at close quarters. Brake calipers may bind from disuse; bleed the circuits and confirm disc runout before road use. The drivetrain chain and sprockets warrant measurement for tight spots after low-mileage storage. Given the spotless test lineage, mechanical risk reads low, but physical verification of rubber and bearing condition remains prudent on a 28-year-old machine.
