2016 Honda CB 0.6L Petrol · AF16 TVC

The 2016 Honda CB presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent DVSA test on 3 March 2026 at 5,610 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, and no advisories were raised across any of the three available entries. The vehicle shows no worsening faults and no recurring mechanical concerns in its documented history. Mileage data confirms exceptionally light use for a ten-year-old machine. The record shows 4,912 miles at the 3 August 2021 test, rising to 5,554 miles by 9 June 2023 and 5,610 miles by March 2026. That equates to roughly 561 miles per year, with a notable gap of nearly three years between the 2023 and 2026 tests where only 56 miles were added. Such low accumulation and sparse testing suggest long standing periods rather than regular road use. A clean MOT sheet does not exempt the buyer from physical inspection. Prolonged storage at low mileage risks degraded suspension bushes, flat-spotted tyres, and corroded brake discs or calipers through lack of movement. The absence of structural corrosion or exhaust advisories in the record is positive, but standing moisture can still attack unseen components. Before purchase, the buyer should verify brake caliper freedom, check fork seals for weepage, and confirm tyre sidewall condition given the age of the rubber. The sparse history offers no evidence of neglect, yet the low mileage pattern demands hands-on checks that paperwork alone cannot confirm.
