2002 Honda CBR600F 0.6L Petrol · CE02 OJN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy; the most recent MOT on 2025‑09‑25 at 36 743 miles recorded a PASS with only advisories (rear tyre worn close to the legal limit, exhaust noisy baffle fitted). This outcome follows a series of earlier defects, notably the front shock fluid leak flagged in the 2024‑08‑03 failure, and resolves the prior brake and chain issues, indicating an improving maintenance trend. Mileage accumulation has been exceptionally low for a 24‑year‑old machine, averaging roughly 1 531 miles per year. The MOT entries show a steady, modest increase: from 34 524 miles in July 2016 to 36 743 miles in September 2025, with increments ranging from 165 to 511 miles between tests. The data reveals no rapid mileage spikes; the longest gap between tests spans 18 months (2020‑04‑23 to 2021‑04‑14) but still records only a 197‑mile rise, underscoring light usage and consistent low‑mileage ownership. A buyer should inspect the rear tyre tread depth against the legal limit, verify the exhaust baffle’s condition and any noise, and examine the front shock absorber for fluid leaks. The rear wheel bearings must be checked for excessive roughness, while the drive chain should be inspected for proper tension and fouling of adjacent components. Brake performance, particularly the rear roller brake test, warrants a functional check for fluctuation and disc condition. Finally, a thorough visual scan for corrosion on the frame, swingarm, and exhaust mounting points will reveal any structural integrity concerns that the MOT advisories may not have captured.
