2012 Honda CBR 600 FA-C 0.6L Petrol · AU62 VMH

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness trend, with all MOT tests from 2017 to 2024 recording no defects. The most recent 2024 test at 13,258 miles confirmed compliance, indicating consistent maintenance. No recurring issues or escalating faults were flagged across the seven-year history, suggesting the bike has been well-preserved. However, the absence of recorded defects does not preclude hidden wear from prolonged inactivity, particularly given the extended intervals between tests. The mileage progression reveals a low annual average of 947 miles, reflecting minimal usage over 14 years. Notable gaps exist between tests, such as the 26-month interval between the 2017 (6,972 miles) and 2019 (7,525 miles) MOTs, followed by a 37-month gap until the 2022 test (8,374 miles). These intervals raise concerns about potential degradation of components like suspension bushes, coil springs, or rubber seals due to infrequent operation. The sudden jump to 13,258 miles by 2024 suggests a possible increase in usage, though this remains unverified by intermediate records. A buyer should prioritize inspecting for corrosion, particularly in the exhaust system and underbody, which may have deteriorated during periods of inactivity. The suspension and brake systems warrant close examination for stiffness or binding, as low mileage can mask wear in these areas. Additionally, tyre condition and fluid levels should be checked, as stagnant components may have developed faults not captured in the MOT history. The clean record is reassuring but does not eliminate the need for a thorough pre-purchase inspection.
