2010 Honda CB 1000 R-A 1.0L Petrol · GV10 LLO

The vehicle’s most recent MOT test on 2026-02-14 confirms it remains roadworthy with no defects recorded, maintaining a consistent pass trend across the last three annual tests. There is no evidence of recurring mechanical failures or advisories, though the duplicate entry on 2024-02-17—one pass and one fail—appears to be a data anomaly rather than a genuine issue. The absence of advisories or defects in any test suggests the vehicle has not experienced persistent problems with suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions, which are common failure points on this model at this age. However, the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden wear; a thorough inspection of high-wear components remains essential. The recorded mileage of 40,236 miles over 16 years equates to approximately 2,515 miles annually, which is unusually low for a motorcycle of this age and usage profile. The most recent mileage reading was taken in February 2026, just six months prior to today, indicating the odometer has not been tampered with. The sparse but consistent MOT history—without gaps or rapid mileage jumps—implies the bike has likely been stored or used sparingly rather than ridden regularly. This low mileage could mean reduced wear on consumables like tyres, brake pads, and chain, but it also raises questions about long-term storage effects, such as battery degradation, fuel system stagnation, or potential corrosion from moisture exposure. Given the lack of MOT advisories, the primary focus for a prospective buyer should be the condition of the tyres, which have not been tested in this record, and the state of the chain and sprocket, both of which degrade slowly but can fail catastrophically if neglected. The suspension components, including rear shock absorbers and front forks, should be checked for leaks or excessive play, particularly if the bike has been stored for extended periods. The brakes, though not flagged in tests, warrant inspection for uneven wear or glazing, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for prolonged periods. Finally, examine the frame and fuel tank for signs of corrosion, as standing water or salt exposure can accelerate rust development even at low mileages. The absence of MOT defects does not guarantee these areas are flawless.
