2008 Honda CB1000R 1.0L Petrol · LA08 HGL

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on August 2 2025 at 15,472 miles which recorded no defects. This follows a period where the bike consistently met minimum safety standards without major failures. The maintenance trend shows a consistent pattern of passing tests, suggesting the motorcycle has not suffered from catastrophic mechanical failure or structural degradation during the recent testing period. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old machine, averaging approximately 860 miles per year. Between July 2022 and August 2025, the vehicle covered only 6,617 miles, indicating very light use or long periods of storage. The jump of 2,810 miles between 2024 and 2025 shows increased activity. While low mileage generally implies less wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often masks age-related degradation of rubber components and fluids that do not correlate with distance traveled alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by time and inactivity rather than mileage. The July 2022 test flagged the nearside front brake pads reaching the minimum limit at 8,896 miles, and the July 2024 advisory for a rear nail in the tyre indicates basic consumable maintenance is performed periodically. Given the low annual usage, inspect the tyres for dry rot or sidewall cracking and check the brake calipers for seized pistons due to standing. Examine the brake discs for pitting or corrosion and the fork seals for perished rubber, as the low mileage suggests these parts have not been regularly exercised by frequent use.
