2006 Honda VFR 800 A-5 0.8L Petrol · FP55 AHD

The most recent MOT on 25 April 2025 at 3,801 miles recorded a pass with no defects, confirming the motorcycle remains roadworthy. With three consecutive annual passes and no recorded failures, the maintenance trend appears stable rather than deteriorating or improving. Across a twenty‑year lifespan the bike has accumulated only 3,801 miles, averaging roughly 190 miles per year. The 2023‑06‑02 test at 3,759 miles and the 2022‑06‑10 test at 3,699 miles show a consistent, minimal mileage increase of about 60 miles per year, indicating very light use or prolonged periods of storage. No sudden spikes or gaps in the record suggest the vehicle has not been subjected to high‑stress mileage accumulation. Even with a clean MOT history, a buyer should verify age‑related wear that low mileage does not conceal. Inspect the condition of suspension bushes and coil springs for any cracking or loss of compliance, and check brake discs and pads for surface rust or glazing. Examine tyre tread depth and sidewall integrity, as tyres may have aged despite limited wear. Look for corrosion on the frame, exhaust, and mounting points, and assess rubber seals, hoses, and the fuel system for brittleness or leaks. A thorough visual and functional check of these components will confirm that the motorcycle’s low‑mileage advantage translates into genuine reliability.
