2001 HONDA FIREBLADE0.9L Petrol

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and clean maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in August 2025 at 32,091 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the motorcycle currently meets all legal and safety requirements. Following a single failure in early 2022, the bike has passed three consecutive tests without recorded faults, suggesting the current owners are addressing mechanical needs promptly and maintaining high standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 25-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,284 miles per year. The data shows significant periods of low use between 2020 and 2022, during which the vehicle covered only 1,700 miles over nearly two years. More recent usage has increased slightly, with 1,894 miles covered between the April 2024 and August 2025. While this low mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, the long intervals imply risks associated with age-related degradation rather than mileage-based fatigue. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by time rather than low mileage. Because the MOT history shows no recurring advisories for suspension bushes or brake corrosion, the priority shifts to checking the condition of rubber-based components. Inspect the brake lines for perished cracking, the fork seals for leaks, and the tyres for flat spotting or dry rot. Additionally, check for structural rust on the frame and swingarm, as long-standing vehicles can suffer from surface corrosion that a standard MOT test might not flag unless it becomes structurally significant.
