2005 Honda CB900 0.9L Petrol · GD54 AEA

The vehicle presents in a roadworthy condition following a clean MOT pass on 30 May 2026 at 15,983 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner addressed the only recorded defect identified in the previous year. The immediate rectification of the rear brake hose failure from the 9 January 2025 test indicates that the current keeper is responsive to safety-critical failures once they are flagged. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 21-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 761 miles per year. There is a significant nine-year gap between the May 2016 and January 2025 tests, during which the vehicle covered only 58 miles. This pattern suggests long periods of storage or minimal seasonal use. Such low mileage often implies that the degradation of rubber-based components and fluid chemistry is a greater concern than traditional mechanical wear on the drivetrain or engine. A physical inspection must focus on the effects of age and lack of use. The buyer should inspect the rear brake hose recently replaced, check the fork seals for signs of weeping oil, and verify the condition of the tyres for dry-rot cracks. Given the long period of inactivity between 2016 and 2025, a thorough check of the brake calipers for seizing and the fuel system for degradation is necessary to ensure that the low mileage has not masked internal corrosion or perished seals.
