2008 Honda CB 1300 SA-7 1.3L Petrol · B5 SRN

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT test on June 2026 at 5,828 miles. The maintenance trend remains remarkably stable, with no defects or advisories recorded across the last five years of testing. This consistent performance suggests the motorcycle has been kept in a good condition and has not suffered from the progressive mechanical degradation typically seen in older machinery. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 324 miles per year. Between September 2021 and June 2026, the vehicle covered only 1,777 miles, moving from 4,051 to 5,828 miles. While this low usage indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests suggest the bike may sit stationary for extended periods. Such usage patterns often present specific risks related to age-related decay rather than mileage-based wear. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by time and stagnation rather than distance. Examine the rubber components including tyres, brake lines, and fuel hoses for cracking or dry rot, as these materials perish regardless of low miles driven. Check the fork seals for perished perished and ensure the brake calipers have not seized due to lack of use. Additionally, inspect the frame for any signs of corrosion that may have developed over two decades, though the MOT history has not flagged structural integrity issues to date.
