2019 Honda CB 500 FA-K 0.5L Petrol · AV69 HMU

The current roadworthiness status of this Honda CB 500 is excellent, with the most recent MOT test on 27 June 2025 resulting in a pass. The maintenance trend is highly stable, as the vehicle has consistently cleared annual inspections without any recurring mechanical defects or structural warnings. The single failure recorded on 27 June 2025 regarding a missing rear reflector was a minor regulatory compliance issue rather than a mechanical fault, and it was rectified immediately before the final pass was issued on the same day. The vehicle has covered only 4,414 miles over its seven-year lifespan, averaging approximately 631 miles per annum. This low usage pattern indicates the motorcycle has spent significant periods in storage. The data shows a steady, light accumulation of miles, with only 26 miles recorded between the August 2024 test and the June 2025 inspection. While the low mileage suggests limited wear on major drivetrain components, long-term inactivity often leads to specific maintenance challenges that are not always captured by a standard MOT test. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on components prone to degradation during periods of disuse. Inspect the fuel tank for internal corrosion and check the condition of rubber components, specifically fork seals, coolant hoses, and tyres, as these can perish or crack despite low mileage. Verify that the brake fluid has been flushed recently, as stagnant fluid in the lines can compromise the master cylinder and calipers. Ensure the chain and sprockets show no signs of surface rust or seized links, as these are common issues on machines that sit idle for extended durations.
