2021 Honda CB 500 XA-N 0.5L Petrol · SV71 ABX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-01-15 at 11,421 miles showed no defects, indicating a stable roadworthiness status. Previous tests in 2025-02-11 (6,923 miles) and 2025-02-05 (6,922 miles) also recorded no defects, despite the latter failing. This suggests the failure was likely procedural or unrelated to mechanical issues. The absence of recurring faults in the last two tests implies maintenance has been adequate, though the short interval between the 2025 tests raises questions about the vehicle’s usage patterns. The recorded mileage of 11,421 miles over five years equates to approximately 2,284 miles annually, significantly below the average for a 2021 model. This low usage could indicate infrequent operation or prolonged periods of inactivity, which may affect components like the battery, engine, and suspension. Notably, the 2025-02-11 test at 6,923 miles occurred just six days after the prior test at 6,922 miles, suggesting the vehicle may have been prepared for inspection rather than reflecting normal driving habits. A buyer should verify the condition of the suspension, particularly bushes and coil springs, given the low mileage’s potential to mask wear. Inspect brake discs and calipers for corrosion or uneven wear, as inactivity can accelerate rust. Structural integrity should be confirmed, though no corrosion or damage was noted in the records. The absence of advisories on tyres or fluids is positive, but a physical check is recommended to ensure no hidden issues arose from extended storage or minimal use.
