2020 Honda CB 500 FA-K 0.5L Petrol · BV70 AEK

The vehicle is currently in a roadworthy state based on the most recent MOT pass on 18 October 2024. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the record shows no mechanical defects or advisories across the last three entries. A failure recorded on 16 October 2024 was resolved within two days, suggesting a prompt correction of a minor issue that did not warrant a detailed defect listing in the final pass. The mileage is low for a six-year-old motorcycle, averaging roughly 3,942 miles per year. Between the September 2023 test at 18,472 miles and the October 2024 test at 23,653 miles, the bike covered 5,181 miles. This indicates a consistent pattern of light use. However, the vehicle has remained stationary since the October 2024 test, meaning it has not been formally inspected for nearly nine months relative to the current date of July 2026. A buyer should focus on components that degrade during periods of inactivity. While the MOT history is clean, the lack of recorded advisories does not account for the condition of consumables like the battery, tyres, and brake fluid. Check for tyre flat-spotting or perishing and ensure the battery holds a charge. Inspect the chain and sprockets for surface corrosion or lack of lubrication, as low-mileage bikes often suffer from neglect during storage. Verify that the brake calipers are not seizing and that the fork seals remain intact. Given the absence of structural failures or suspension issues in the DVSA record, the primary risk is stagnation rather than mechanical wear.
