2004 Honda CB900 0.9L Petrol · DX04 CGU

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 17 June 2025 at 22,381 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This performance mirrors the previous four annual tests back to 2021, indicating that the motorcycle has remained in a high state of mechanical repair without recurring mechanical failures or structural concerns. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 22-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,017 miles per year. Between May 2021 and June 2025, the vehicle covered only 56 miles, moving from 22,325 to 22,381 miles. This data suggests the bike is stored under dry conditions and used infrequently for short journeys. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often introduces risks related to age aged rubber components and fluid stagnation. Despite the clean MOT record, a physical inspection must focus on age-related degradation rather than mileage-based wear. A buyer should check for cracking in brake hoses, tyres, and fork seals, which often perish during long periods of standing. The brake system requires close scrutiny for seized calipers or swollen pistons caused by lack of regular use. Additionally, the frame integrity and exhaust mounting should be inspected for surface corrosion, as the MOT tester only identifies structural rust that has reached a specific threshold of decay.
