2009 Honda CB 1300 A-9 1.3L Petrol · AG09 JRO

The 2009 Honda CB 1300 A-9 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 26 August 2025 at 9,647 miles which recorded no defects. Prior annual tests from August 2022 through August 2024 also passed with no advisories or faults noted. The single failure on 26 August 2022 at 7,042 miles closed within four days after a pass on 30 August 2022, and the record shows no defects logged against that failure, indicating a likely administrative or minor rectification rather than a mechanical breakdown. The mileage pattern reflects exceptionally light use for a 17-year-old machine. The bike covered only 9,647 miles by August 2025, averaging roughly 567 miles per year. Annual increments stayed low and consistent: 7,042 miles in August 2022, 7,870 in August 2023, 9,009 in August 2024, and 9,647 in August 2025. No rapid accumulation or standing gaps appear in the data. The clean MOT sequence suggests the previous keeper stored the machine well and addressed any roadside issues before each test. A buyer should still inspect in person for age-related deterioration not captured by MOT checks. Long periods of low use invite tyre perishing, degraded suspension bushes, and seized calipers despite the absence of advisories. The August 2022 failure with no defect listed warrants a check of the DVSA failure reason if available, to rule out a hidden brake or lighting fault. Examine the chassis for corrosion at weld points and pivot mounts, and verify brake disc thickness and pad contact. Confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits given the low annual running. The record implies careful ownership, but a physical inspection remains essential before purchase.
