2011 Honda CBR 600 FA-B 0.6L Petrol · AV61 AEK

The 2011 Honda CBR 600 FA-B demonstrates stable roadworthiness based on its most recent MOT on 2025-07-24 at 24,377 miles, which passed with no defects. However, the preceding test on 2025-07-11 at 24,355 miles recorded a failure despite no defects being listed, suggesting a potential administrative error or minor non-compliance resolved before the subsequent pass. No structural, braking, or suspension issues were flagged in the history, indicating consistent maintenance. The vehicle’s low mileage of 24,377 miles over 15 years (1,625 miles annually) implies infrequent use, which may correlate with preserved mechanical condition but also raises questions about long-term storage effects. The MOT record shows minimal variation in mileage between tests, with the 2024-07-13 pass at 24,197 miles followed by a 2023-07-07 pass at 24,156 miles and a concurrent failure. These entries suggest a tightly controlled mileage range, possibly reflecting periodic use rather than consistent driving. The absence of recurring defects or advisories in the history indicates the bike has not encountered significant mechanical degradation. However, the lack of data beyond 2025-07-24 means the current condition remains unverified, as the vehicle has not been tested in over a year. A buyer should inspect the suspension components, particularly the coil springs and bushes, for signs of wear given the low mileage and potential inactivity. Brake discs and calipers should be checked for corrosion or binding, as prolonged storage can affect these systems. The exhaust system and structural integrity, though unmentioned in the record, warrant scrutiny to confirm no hidden damage. The absence of recorded issues is positive, but the gap in testing since 2025 necessitates a thorough pre-purchase inspection to validate the bike’s ongoing roadworthiness.
