2016 Honda CBR 0.1L Petrol · GV16 WVA

The vehicle currently holds a roadworthy status but the maintenance history indicates a reactive rather than proactive approach. While it passed its most recent test in July 2024 at 28,230 miles, this followed a failure just 13 miles prior. The trend shows recurring issues with mechanical components, specifically within the steering geometry and braking system, which persist across multiple years. This suggests the owner only addresses faults when they trigger an MOT failure rather than during routine preventative service intervals. The mileage profile is notably low for a ten-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,800 miles per annum. Moving from 20,202 miles in June 2022 to 28,230 miles in July 2024 shows consistent, low-intensity usage over those two years. This low mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain, but it often correlates with age-related degradation of rubber, seals, and fluids, which may explain the steering and brakerelated issues noted in the record. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection of the steering headbearing, as it was flagged as stiff or notchy in 2024 and remained a concern. The deformed offside handlebar also requires close scrutiny for potential structural weakness or hidden cracks that could compromise handling. Furthermore, the braking system shows a history of neglect, with front brake pads reaching minimum limits in 2024 and binding issues reported in 2023. The oil misting on the offside front shock absorber noted in 2022 should be checked again to ensure the seal has not progressed to a significant leak.
