2017 Honda CB 1.0L Petrol · EX17 DFJ

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted in April 2026 at 12,088 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This stable trend across the last five years suggests that the motorcycle has remained in a well-preserved condition without the mechanical failures or structural degradation typically seen in older vehicles. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,343 miles per year. Between April 2022 at 6,865 miles and April 2026 at 12,088 miles, the vehicle covered only 5,223 miles total. While this low usage indicates minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the intervals between tests suggest the vehicle may have sat for long periods. The consistent annual testing shows the owner has maintained a proactive approach to legal compliance rather than neglecting the bike for years. Despite the clean record, a buyer must perform a physical inspection focusing on issues associated with long-term storage. Check for perish rot or cracking on tyres, fuel lines, and brake hoses, as rubber degrades over time regardless of mileage. The tester found no binding calipers or suspension leaks, but the buyer should inspect the brake discs for surface pitting caused by moisture during disuse. Additionally, examine the chain for signs of deep rust or seizing to ensure the low-mile history has not led to neglected lubrication.
