2002 Honda CBR900RR 1.0L Petrol · GP02 ADX

The September 2024 MOT at 38,538 miles resulted in a pass, with only a registration plate lamp failure noted under 4.7.1 (b) (ii); no structural, mechanical or emissions defects were recorded, confirming the CBR900RR remains roadworthy despite the minor lamp issue. Maintenance trend is stable, with no evidence of worsening mechanical problems beyond routine tyre and exhaust wear. Mileage has risen from 14,203 miles in the July 2007 test to 38,538 miles in September 2024, an increase of 24,335 miles over 17 years, averaging about 1,400 miles per year; the relatively steady increments and the presence of several tests with unchanged or near‑identical mileage (e.g., 15,206 miles in May 2010 and May 2011) indicate periods of low usage rather than rapid wear accumulation. Recurring observations include frequent tyre tread wear close to the legal limit (noted in 2010, 2013, 2014 and 2019), rear brake pad wear approaching minimum limits (2012 and 2014), front shock absorber seal leakage and tyre tread deficiency in the May 2010 test, and a slightly damaged front valve stem and tight drive chain in the October 2018 test; these patterns suggest regular but not intensive use and limited attention to consumable maintenance. A buyer should therefore inspect the condition of the front and rear suspension bushes and coil springs, verify the integrity of brake discs and calipers, measure tyre tread depth and examine the condition of the rear brake pads, assess the exhaust system for corrosion or excessive noise, check the drive chain tension and wear, look for any signs of structural rust on the frame and subframes, and confirm that the registration lamp and associated wiring are functional.
