2012 Honda CBR 1000 RR-B 1.0L Petrol · FY12 FVM

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a clean record across its most recent inspections. The latest MOT conducted in July 2024 at 6,484 miles resulted in no defects or advisories, indicating that the mechanical components met all regulatory standards. While a failure was recorded in July 2022, the immediate pass on the same day suggests a minor issue that was rectified quickly, rather than representing a chronic mechanical failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a fourteen-year-old superbike, averaging fewer than 500 miles per year. Between September 2021 and July 2024, the bike covered only 713 miles, moving from 5,771 to 6,484 miles. This infrequent usage suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods in storage. While this reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, it often introduces risks related to degradation of rubber components and fluid breakdown which do not manifest in mileage figures alone. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection focused on the specific risks associated with low-mileage, long-term storage. Priority should be given to checking sidewalling and cracking on the tyres, as age often outlasts tread depth. The buyer should also inspect brake fluid for moisture contamination and check calipers for seized pistons due to lack of use. Additionally, the fork seals and suspension bushings should be examined for perished material or leaks, ensuring that the rubber has not dried out despite the low recorded mileage.
