1997 Honda CRM250 0.2L Petrol · J809 UNB

The 1997 Honda CRM250 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 31 May 2024 at 19,559 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, matching the clean outcomes of the two prior tests. No advisories or mechanical faults appear anywhere in the supplied record, so the documented history shows no worsening or recurring problems. The odometer sat at 19,197 miles for the 30 October 2021 test, rose to 19,548 miles by 7 November 2022, and reached 19,559 miles by May 2024. That is roughly 362 miles across two and a half years, or about 674 miles per year against the bike's 29-year life. Such low accumulation points to light use and probable long standing periods. A near 19-month gap separates the November 2022 and May 2024 tests, with only 11 miles added in that stretch. The sparse, clean record gives no evidence of skipped consumable care or deferred repairs. A buyer should still inspect the machine in person for issues the MOT does not capture. Long idle time invites degraded suspension bushes, flat-spotted tyres, and corroded brake calipers or discs despite the pass results. Check the exhaust for internal rot and the frame and swingarm for structural rust, particularly around welds and the steering head. Confirm the brake hoses and fork seals for age cracking and weepage. The clean history implies a careful keeper, but low mileage on a 1997 machine means rubber and metal fatigue from time, not wear, now drives the real risk.
