2003 Honda CBR1100XX 1.1L Petrol · YXI 668

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passes over the last several years. The most recent test conducted in September 2022 at 24,267 miles resulted with no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical and safety components met minimum standards at that time. Following a single failure in September 2019, the motorcycle has maintained a clean record through three subsequent annual inspections. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twenty-three-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,055 miles per year. A significant gap exists between the May 2018 test at 23,854 miles and the September 2019 test at 24,002 miles, representing only 148 miles covered in sixteen months. This suggests the vehicle spent long periods in storage. While low mileage generally reduces wear on the engine and drivetrain components, it often leads to degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid chemistry that an MOT test cannot detect. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection focusing on the risks associated with low-mileage storage. Check for perished rubber on the fuel lines, brake hoses, and fork seals, as these dry out regardless of distance traveled. Examine the brake discs for surface pitting or corrosion, which often occurs when a bike sits stationary for extended periods. Given the last test was nearly four years ago, verify the age of the tyres and the condition of the brake fluid to ensure the vehicle remains safe for immediate road use.
