2008 Honda CBR 1000 RR-8 1.0L Petrol · LA08 PXG

The vehicle maintains a roadworthy status, though the most recent test indicates a minor lapse in preventative maintenance. In the April 2026 re-test at 42,858 miles, the motorcycle initially failed due to a faulty nearside rear direction indicator and a missing central rear reflector. These issues were rectified immediately to secure a pass on the same day. The overall trend remains stable, as the tests between 2022 and 2024 showed no mechanical or structural defects. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old machine, averaging approximately 2,381 miles per year. The data shows a consistent low-mileage pattern, with only 1,007 miles covered between May 2022 and April 2023, and another 2,179 miles in the following twenty-five months. This low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and suspension components, though it increases the risk of degradation in rubber seals, fluid acidity, and tyre flat if the bike has sat stationary for extended periods. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the electrical system, given the recent failure of the indicator assembly, which may suggest minor harness corrosion or perished bulbs. Because the MOT record shows no history of brake or structural issues, it is vital to check for surface corrosion on the discs and calipers, as low-use vehicles often suffer from seized calipers. Inspect the fork seals for leaks and the condition of the drive chain to ensure that the low mileage has not masked neglect or age-based material fatigue.
