2020 Honda CB 500 XA-K 0.5L Petrol · CX69 VAV

The 2020 Honda CB 500 XA-K holds a clean roadworthiness status with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent DVSA test on 19 November 2025 at 18,674 miles where the tester recorded no defects. Prior tests on 4 December 2024 at 16,130 miles, 14 November 2023 at 14,586 miles, and 7 January 2023 at 11,152 miles each returned passes with no advisories. The vehicle shows no worsening faults, recurring defects, or unresolved mechanical risks across its four-year MOT span. Annual mileage sits low at roughly 3,112 miles per year against the bike's six-year age, with the odometer climbing from 11,152 to 18,674 miles between January 2023 and November 2025. The longest gap, from the January 2023 test to the November 2023 test, added only 3,434 miles. Such light use implies minimal wear on consumables like tyres, chain, and brake discs, though extended standing periods can allow corrosion on exposed fasteners and suspension linkages not always caught in a static test. A buyer should still inspect the machine in person for structural rust on the frame and exhaust, given low-mileage bikes often sit unused through damp winters. Check the fork seals for weeping, the rear shock bush for play, and the brake calipers for binding after storage. The clean record gives no cause for concern, but a physical check of chain tension and tyre sidewall condition remains sound practice on any used machine.
