1994 Honda CBR400R 0.4L Petrol · L656 RYD

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on a consistently clean MOT history. The most recent test conducted on 24 July 2025 at 44,217 miles resulted in no defects, indicating that the motorcycle remains in a condition that meets minimum safety standards. This clean record is maintained across the recorded years, suggesting that the mechanical and structural components have maintained their integrity without recurring regulatory failures. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a thirty-two-year-old, averaging approximately 1,382 miles per year. There is a significant data gap in the records between June 2012 and July 2025, during which the vehicle covered only 1,693 miles. This thirteen-year interval suggests the bike spent long periods in dry storage or was rarely used during that decade. While low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often increases the risk of degradation in rubber-based components and fluids due to age rather than use. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components affected by long-term standing rather than mileage alone. Given the long gaps between tests, the inspection should focus on perished fuel lines, cracked fork seals, and seized brake calipers or perished seals. Because the MOT record shows no structural rust, the frame and swingarm should be checked for hidden corrosion where moisture might collect during long periods of inactivity. The age of the tyres and brake hoses is critical, as these items likely exceed their service life regardless of the remaining tread depth.
