2013 Honda CBR 600 RA-D 0.6L Petrol · KV13 ACF

The vehicle has demonstrated a consistent roadworthiness record across three consecutive MOT tests, all passing without defects or advisories. The most recent inspection on 2 April 2026 confirmed no issues at 23,157 miles, aligning with the previous two tests in April 2025 and April 2024, each also passing cleanly. This suggests a stable maintenance pattern, though the lack of advisories does not preclude hidden wear—particularly in high-stress components like suspension bushes, chain tensioning systems, or electrical connections that often fail without visible MOT triggers. The recorded mileage of 23,157 miles over 13 years—approximately 1,781 miles annually—is unusually low for a motorcycle of this age, indicating either minimal use or prolonged periods of storage. The intervals between tests (around 4,500 miles per year) are standard, but the gap between the 2024 and 2025 tests spans exactly 12 months, while the 2025–2026 interval also adheres to the annual requirement. No rapid mileage accumulation is evident, which could imply deferred maintenance if the bike was left unused for extended periods, potentially accelerating corrosion or component degradation. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of the suspension system, particularly the rear shock absorber and steering head bearings, as these are common failure points on high-mileage sportbikes even with low actual usage. The chain and sprocket should be checked for excessive wear or stretch, as these components degrade predictably regardless of mileage. Electrical connections, especially those for the ignition, lighting, and instrument cluster, warrant scrutiny, as oxidation can occur even in stored bikes. Finally, examine the frame and fuel tank for signs of corrosion, particularly around the weld seams and mounting points, given the motorcycle’s age and the possibility of prolonged exposure to moisture.
