2005 Honda CB 1300 SA-5 1.3L Petrol · LA05 KTC

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status based on the three most recent MOT records. The most recent test conducted on 20 May 2025 resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded, mirroring the clean results from the 2024 and 2023 tests. This indicates that the motorcycle has met the minimum safety standards during these annual intervals. The recorded mileage of 15,834 miles is exceptionally low for a 21-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 754 miles per year. Such a low-usage profile suggests minimal mechanical wear on internal components like the engine and gearbox, but it also implies the vehicle may have spent significant periods stationary. The data shows no recent rapid accumulation of mileage between the annual tests, maintaining a consistent low-mileage pattern. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age and inactivity rather than distance. Rubber elements such as fuel lines, brake hoses, and fork seals are prone to becoming brittle or cracking over decades regardless of mileage. The inspector should check for signs of corrosion on the frame and exhaust system, as low-use vehicles often suffer from surface rust if not stored internally. Additionally, the tyres should be examined for flat spotting or age-related cracking, even if tread depth remains sufficient. Buying score: 72 Risk level: Low.
