2016 Honda CB 0.5L Petrol · CK65 YEV

The most recent MOT test conducted on 12 December 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects recorded. Reviewing the historical data back to 2018, the vehicle demonstrates an exceptionally stable maintenance trend, having passed every annual inspection without a single advisory or failure. This suggests a high standard of preventative care or a vehicle that has been subjected to very minimal operational stress over its lifespan. With a recorded mileage of 22,442 miles over approximately ten years, the vehicle has averaged roughly 2,244 miles per year. This is significantly lower than the typical usage for a motorcycle of this age. While low mileage generally implies reduced mechanical wear on the engine internals and drivetrain components, such infrequent usage often indicates long periods of standing, which can introduce specific degradation issues that are not always captured during a standard MOT inspection. Given the clean MOT history and low usage, the primary focus for a prospective buyer should be on age-related degradation rather than wear-and-tear. It is essential to inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking or perishing, as rubber compounds harden and lose grip over time regardless of the remaining tread depth. The braking system should be scrutinized for binding calipers or surface corrosion on the brake discs, which can occur when a vehicle stands for extended periods. During a test drive, listen for any unusual noises from the suspension and ensure the brakes bite consistently without shuddering. Attention must also be paid to the health of the 12V battery and the condition of the fluids. Batteries often suffer from permanent capacity loss if left discharged during long periods of storage. Furthermore, engine oil and brake fluid degrade based on a calendar schedule rather than mileage alone; therefore, the service history should be verified to ensure these fluids have been replaced according to the manufacturer's time intervals. Finally, a thorough visual inspection for corrosion on the frame and fasteners is advised to ensure the vehicle has been stored in a dry, controlled environment.
