2008 Honda CBR 1000 RR-7 1.0L Petrol · C5 LPR

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, as evidenced by the most recent MOT test in April 2026 at 9,165 miles which resulted in no recorded defects. This follows a consistent history of passes over the last five years. Despite a minor advisory noted in 2025, the mechanical trend suggests the motorcycle has been well-maintained without the development of recurring structural or safety-critical failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old machine, averaging approximately 509 miles per year. There is a notable gap in usage between September 2021 at 6,991 miles and September 2022 at 7,007 miles, where the bike covered only 16 miles in a full year. While this low mileage indicates minimal wear on the engine and drivetrain components, such long periods of standing often lead to degradation of rubber-based parts and fluid oxidation that an MOT cannot fully capture. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of components affected by age rather than just mileage. The noisy exhaust issue flagged during the April 2025 test at 8,855 miles should be checked for baffle leaks or internal corrosion that may have developed during stationary periods. Given the low usage, it is vital to inspect the tyres for cracking, the brake lines for perish, and the fork seals for weeping. Additionally, verify the frame for corrosion and the suspension bushings to ensure the low mileage has not masked environmental degradation from long-term storage.
