Our Verdict
A strong recommendation for buyers seeki
Given that this vehicle is 26 years old, the most critical check is the service history, as MOT records do not verify essential maintenance such as oil changes or valve adjustments. Look for evidence of corrosion on the frame, swingarm, and wheel spokes, which can be common on bikes of this vintage. You may have room to negotiate a small discount based on the need to replace the registration plate, which has been flagged in three consecutive tests.
The 499cc petrol engine is designed for efficiency, offering low fuel consumption for daily commuting. Tax and insurance costs for the CB500 are generally modest, though these will depend on the rider's specific profile and location. Annual maintenance typically involves basic consumables like tyres, oil, and filters.
Pay close attention to the registration plate, as it was noted as deteriorated in the 2024, 2025, and 2026 MOT tests. Check the current thickness of the front and rear brake pads, as these were flagged as being close to the minimum limit in 2022 and 2024 respectively. Additionally, inspect the red paintwork for fading and check for any fluid leaks around the engine gaskets.
This 2000 Honda CB500 has recorded 66,342 miles and has passed its four most recent MOT tests. The history shows a steady mileage progression and only minor advisories concerning the registration plate and brake pad wear. It presents as a stable example of this 499cc model.
While aggregate data is not available for this model, this specific vehicle has a consistent record of passing its MOT tests.
