2008 Honda VFR800 FI 0.8L Petrol · CK58 BFE

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy state, as evidenced by a clean MOT pass on April 24 2026 at 8,830 miles. The maintenance trend has remained stable over the last three years, with no defects or advisories recorded since 2023. While earlier tests showed minor consumable wear, the most recent period of operation indicates that the current owner is addressing necessary maintenance to keep the motorcycle meeting testing standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old machine, averaging approximately 490 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between September 2017 and March 2021, where the vehicle covered only 9 miles in nearly four years. However, usage has increased recently, with 3,131 miles covered between 2021 and 2026. This low annual mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain, but it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components and fluid breakdown due to long periods of inactivity. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components associated with long-term storage. The offside front shock absorber previously failed for oil leaks in both 2011 and 2012, requiring a close check of the current seals for any weeping or perished rubber. Given the 2023 advisory regarding a worn front tyre and rear brake pads, the current depth of tread and friction material should be verified to ensure they have been replaced since that last warning. The low mileage also necessitates an inspection for cracking in tyre sidewalls and corrosion on brake lines, as these often fail on vehicles that sit stationary for extended periods.
