2008 Honda CB 1300 SA-7 1.3L Petrol · LB08 RYM

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness with a stable and improving maintenance trend. The most recent inspection conducted in September 2025 at 45,461 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows several years of successful results in 2022, 2021, and 2020, indicating that the mechanical and safety components currently meet all regulatory standards. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,500 miles per year. Between February 2020 and September 2025, the vehicle covered only 1,899 miles, suggesting long periods of stationary or very light seasonal use. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests can sometimes lead to rubber component degradation or fluid breakdown which is not always captured by a standard MOT test. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the braking system, as the October 2018 test at 43,266 miles flagged a pitted rear brake disc and front brake pads near the minimum limit. Although these were addressed given the subsequent clean passes, a manual check should verify the current condition of the discs and calipers to ensure no new corrosion has developed during periods of inactivity. Additionally, the low mileage justifies a close inspection of the tyres and suspension seals for dry cracking, as these components often age faster than they wear out through use.
