2008 Honda CB 600 FA-8 0.6L Petrol · DF08 DNN

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a successful MOT on June 4, 2026, at 12,548 miles. While the bike passed this test, the maintenance trend shows a concerning decline in attention to critical components. The tester flagged a central rear tyre worn close to the legal limit during the most recent inspection, following a period where brake-related issues were the primary concern. This suggests a pattern of neglect regarding consumable items despite the low overall mileage. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 700 miles per year. Between May 2022 and May 2025, the vehicle covered only 389 miles, indicating long periods of stationary or minimal use. While this low usage preserves the engine and drivetrain components, it often leads to the degradation of rubber components, fluid breakdown, and seal drying. The significant time gaps between tests suggest the vehicle may have been subject to age-related decay without consistent mechanical wear. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of the front brake discs and calipers. The record shows a slight fluctuation of brake effort in June 2024 at 12,010 miles, which escalated to a failure for excessive fluctuation in May 2025 at 12,262 miles. This indicates likely warped or thinned discs that require replacement to ensure consistent stopping power. Given the low mileage, the inspector should also check for deep corrosion on the brake rotors and perished seals in the fork suspension, which are common in vehicles that sit idle for extended periods.
