2019 Honda CBR 0.5L Petrol · AE19 RBY

The vehicle presents a stable and highly positive maintenance trend, passing every recorded MOT with zero defects. The most recent test on 9 October 2025 at 12,432 miles resulted in a clean pass. Curiously, the same date shows a failed test at the identical mileage, which typically indicates a retest following a minor rectification or an administrative anomaly, yet the final outcome confirms full roadworthiness. No advisories or defects have ever been recorded, indicating meticulous upkeep and a lack of recurring mechanical issues. At seven years old with 12,432 miles, this Honda CBR averages just 1,776 miles annually, classifying it as exceptionally low mileage. The mileage progression reflects sporadic, light use rather than consistent commuting. Between the March 2022 test at 9,088 miles and the August 2023 test at 10,975 miles, the motorcycle covered only 1,887 miles over seventeen months. A similar pattern follows, with just 222 miles added between August 2023 and September 2024. The odometer has remained static at 12,432 miles since the September 2024 test, suggesting the machine has stood stationary for nearly two years. Despite the flawless MOT record, prolonged inactivity poses specific risks that a static test cannot fully capture. A buyer must inspect the condition of the tyres thoroughly, as low annual mileage often leads to perishing and flat-spotting from standing rather than tread wear. The brake system requires close scrutiny; calipers can seize and discs can suffer corrosion pitting when a machine sits unused for extended periods. Suspension seals and fork stanchions may have dried out or corroded from lack of use. Checking the battery health and charging system is essential, as infrequent riding prevents proper charging cycles. Finally, verify the condition of the chain and sprockets, as a static chain can rust and snap under load, and ensure all fluids have been recently changed to prevent moisture contamination.
