2012 Honda CBR1000RR 1.0L Petrol · CE02 AKE

The 2012 Honda CBR1000RR demonstrates stable roadworthiness, with no defects recorded in its last three MOT tests, including the most recent 2024-07-12 inspection at 20,403 miles. The vehicle has maintained a consistent pass record since 2021, with no critical failures or advisories. However, the 2021-02-02 test shows a failed result at 15,403 miles, though no defects were listed, suggesting either a procedural error or a minor issue resolved before subsequent checks. The absence of recurring mechanical issues in the past three years indicates reliable maintenance, but the lack of recent testing (over 18 months since the last MOT) raises questions about current compliance. The mileage of 20,403 miles over 14 years equates to an average of 1,457 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage. This pattern suggests prolonged periods of inactivity, which can accelerate component degradation through corrosion, fluid stagnation, or seal hardening. Notably, the 2021-02-02 test at 15,403 miles coincided with a 1,875-mile jump from the 2020-03-23 test, raising potential concerns about irregular usage or unrecorded mileage. The sparse data between 2021 and 2023—despite the 2022-03-23 pass at 17,278 miles—offers limited insight into mid-life maintenance trends. A buyer should prioritize inspecting storage-related wear, particularly in the engine, suspension, and electrical systems, given the low mileage and extended inactivity. Check for corrosion on brake discs, binding calipers, or uneven tyre wear, which could indicate prolonged standing. The absence of suspension or structural advisories in MOT records is reassuring, but a physical inspection of coil springs, bushings, and exhaust integrity is recommended. The failed 2021 test, though unexplained, warrants scrutiny to confirm no unresolved issues persist. Overall, the bike appears mechanically sound but requires verification of its current MOT status and storage-induced component health.
