1999 Honda CB600 Hornet 0.6L Petrol · T864 FWW

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent MOT pass on 25 July 2025. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the bike has consistently passed its tests over the last three years without any recorded defects or advisories. The absence of flagged issues suggests a vehicle that is kept in a condition meeting minimum legal standards. The recorded mileage of 44,912 miles is low for a 27 year old machine, averaging roughly 1,663 miles per year. The usage pattern is light and consistent. Between July 2023 and July 2025, the odometer increased by only 2,091 miles. This low annual mileage suggests the motorcycle may spend significant periods stationary, which often impacts rubber components and fluid integrity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on areas the MOT does not exhaustively cover, particularly given the low usage. Check for perished tyres and cracked brake hoses, as these degrade with age regardless of mileage. Inspect the fuel system for signs of varnish or corrosion resulting from long periods of standing. Verify the condition of the chain and sprockets for surface rust and ensure the battery holds a steady charge. While the MOT record is clean, the lack of advisories over several years does not guarantee the health of the engine internals or the suspension damping. A manual check of the fork seals and rear shock for leaks is recommended to ensure the bike has not suffered from seal shrinkage during inactivity.
