2009 Honda CBR 600 RA-9 0.6L Petrol · RR58 CBR

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history reveals a pattern of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on October 2, 2025 at 7,593 miles resulted in a failure due to a missing rear reflector and a tyre worn to the legal limit. While the bike passed immediately upon rectification, the recurring nature of tyre failures suggests that the owner only addresses consumable items when they reach a failure point during an annual inspection. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 17-year-old motorcycle, having covered only 7,593 miles. This averages to fewer than 450 miles per year, with significant gaps between testing intervals, such as the three-year period between 2019 and 2022 where only 68 miles were recorded. The odometer remains remarkably flat across recent years. Such low usage often indicates the vehicle has spent long periods stationary, which can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components, fluid breakdown, and tyre dry rot despite the low mechanical wear readings. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of components that suffer from age rather than mileage. The MOT record consistently flags front and rear tyres worn to the legal limit across 2013, 2019, 2024, and 2025, indicating a lack of scheduled replacement. Inspect the tyre sidewalls for cracking and check the condition of brake lines for perished rubber, as these are prone to drying out. Given the long intervals of inactivity, verify the integrity of the suspension fork seals and the state of the chain and sprockets to ensure the low mileage has not masked internal corrosion or seized components.
