2017 Honda CRF 0.3L Petrol · AX17 KHB

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent test indicates a lapse in basic pre-test preparation. On June 6, 2026 at 9,130 miles, the motorcycle failed due to a non-functional stop lamp, a missing rear reflector, and low front tyre pressure. These issues were rectified immediately, resulting in a pass just days later. Prior to this failure, the maintenance trend remained remarkably stable, with three consecutive annual passes without any recorded mechanical or structural defects. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 1,014 miles per year. Between April 2023 at 4,935 miles and April 2024 at 6,483 miles, the bike covered only 1,548 miles. This low usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension assembly. However, long periods of inactivity can lead to the degradation of materials, such as perished rubber seals or internal fluid contamination, which are not always captured by a standard MOT inspection. A buyer should physically inspect the brake system for signs of surface corrosion, as low-mileage vehicles often suffer from calipers seizing or discs pitting from disuse. The recent failure of the stop lamp highlights a need to check the electrical wiring and bulb housings for secure connections or brittle insulation. Given the age relative to the mileage, specifically examine the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spots, as rubber often outlives age before the tread wears down on low-use machines.
