1992 Honda CD250U 0.2L Petrol · K593 DRM

The Honda CD250U presents as roadworthy following its most recent DVSA examination. The tester passed the machine on 2 October 2025 at 12,189 miles with no defects recorded, and the maintenance trend across the available history is stable with no advisories or recurring faults flagged at any stage. Recorded mileage shows exceptionally light use for a 34-year-old vehicle. The odometer read 11,116 miles in October 2022, rose to 11,542 by October 2023, 11,801 in September 2024, and 12,189 in October 2025. That equates to roughly 350 miles per year, confirming the bike has stood for long periods. The MOT data is sparse and clean, with no gaps exceeding thirteen months and no failures on mechanical grounds; the 2 October 2025 failure entry carries no recorded defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a fault. A buyer should still inspect the machine in person given its age and low running. Long standing invites perished rubber components, seized calipers, and degraded suspension bushes that an annual test at idle mileage may not expose. Examine the frame and cycle parts for structural corrosion, check brake discs for pitting, and confirm the exhaust emissions remain within limits under load. Verify the 2025 failure reason with DVSA, as the zero-defect record is atypical. Otherwise the history implies a carefully stored machine with basic upkeep maintained, though pre-purchase scrutiny of consumables and hidden rust remains prudent.
