1998 Honda CBR900RR 0.9L Petrol · S860 CRC

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status based on the available MOT data. The most recent test conducted on September 17, 2021 at 7,506 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a clean result from the October 2020 test, indicating that the motorcycle has met all minimum safety and emissions standards during its periods of operation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a vehicle of nearly 28 years in age, averaging approximately 268 miles per year. Between October 2020 and September 2021, the bike covered only 155 miles. Such minimal usage suggests the motorcycle has been stored for long periods rather than being used for regular daily commuting. While this reduces mechanical wear on components like the engine and drivetrain, it introduces risks related to the degradation of rubber components and fluid chemical breakdown that a standard MOT test may not fully capture. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on components affected by age and stagnation rather than mileage. Check for perished brake lines, leaking front fork seals, and cracked tyres, as these often fail over time regardless of the distance driven. The braking system should be inspected for seized calipers or internal corrosion, and the frame needs to be examined for structural rust, particularly around the mounting points. Given the significant gap since the last recorded test in 2021, a fresh inspection is essential to ensure no new faults have developed during the recent period of inactivity.
