1982 Honda GL500 0.5L Petrol · FNO 202Y

The Honda GL500 passed its most recent MOT on 15 June 2022 at 29,101 miles with no defects recorded, so the available record shows a stable and clean roadworthiness status. With only a single test entry supplied, no worsening or recurring fault trend can be evidenced. The bike presents as mechanically sound on paper at its last examination. Recorded mileage stands at 29,101 miles against a 1982 build date, equating to roughly 661 miles per year over 44 years. The June 2022 test carries the same mileage as the figure quoted today, and with no earlier entries provided the history is sparse. Low annual use of this order commonly means long standing periods, which the MOT data alone does not contradict. A buyer should still inspect the GL500 in person for age-related corrosion on the frame and cycle parts, given the machine has spent decades exposed to environmental conditions. Standing time promotes perishing in suspension bushes, tyre sidewalls, and brake caliper seizure even where a test shows a clear pass. Check the brake discs for pitting, the exhaust for internal rot, and the electrical systems for moisture damage. The clean 2022 result gives no cause for alarm, but a four-year gap to the current date means a fresh test and hands-on check remain essential before purchase.
