2015 Honda CB 0.5L Petrol · AV64 WUP

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a reactive rather than proactive ownership style. The most recent test in January 2026 at 41,693 miles resulted in an initial failure due to multiple lighting issues and insufficient tyre tread. While the vehicle passed upon immediate re-test, the presence of four separate defects in a single session suggests that the owner only addresses faults once they necessitate an MOT failure rather than performing routine preventative maintenance. At 11 years old, the recorded mileage of 41,693 miles is significantly low, averaging approximately 3,800 miles per year. This low usage pattern is consistent between the February 2024 test at 34,657 miles and the February 2025 test at 38,527 miles, showing an interval of just 3,870 miles. However, low mileage on older vehicles can lead to the degradation of rubber-based components such as seals, bushings, and tyres, which may age regardless of mechanical wear. A buyer should personally inspect the electrical system thoroughly, as the 2026 failure highlighted issues with both position lamps and the rear plate lamp. The 2025 failure regarding the stop lamp further suggests a potential history of wiring issues or bulb failures that are frequently overlooked. Given that the tyres were flagged as being near the legal limit in January 2026, they should be checked for sidew cracking or rot, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from age- before the tread is fully utilised.
