1997 HONDA CG1250.1L PETROL

The vehicle maintains a stable state of roadworthiness, evidenced by the most recent MOT test on March 7 2026 at 9,633 miles, which passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This consistency of clean results across the last five tests indicates that the mechanical and structural components have remained within operational parameters without any recurring failures in the braking, suspension, or lighting systems. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twenty-nine-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 332 miles per year. There is a significant five-year gap between the 2017 test at 9,037 miles and the June 2022 test at 9,053 miles, during which only 16 miles were recorded. Since 2022, the vehicle has covered an additional 580 miles over four years. This pattern of use suggests the bike has been stored for long periods, which presents different risks than high-mile wear on the drivetrain or engine. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on the degradation associated with low usage rather than mileage. A buyer should check for dry cracking in the tyres, fork seals, and brake lines, which often perish from age regardless of distance traveled. The frame and swingarm require scrutiny for deep-seated corrosion corrosion, as the MOT tester only identifies structural failure once it reaches a threshold. Additionally, the fuel system and seals should be checked for varnish or shrinkage resulting from the long periods of inactivity identified between the recorded test dates.
