2011 Honda CBR 250 RA-B 0.2L Petrol · LB11 LXF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2025-06-07 at 7,107 miles showed no defects, but a prior test on 2025-05-20 at 7,103 miles resulted in a failure with no recorded issues. This suggests an anomaly in the testing process or a minor, unresolved concern addressed between tests. Earlier MOTs from 2022 to 2024 consistently passed with no defects, indicating a stable maintenance trend. However, the recent failure without explanation raises questions about the vehicle’s reliability and the thoroughness of the inspection. The recorded mileage of 7,107 miles over 15 years equates to an average of 474 miles annually, significantly lower than typical usage. This pattern implies infrequent use or prolonged storage, which can lead to issues like fluid degradation, battery drain, or rubber component aging. Notably, the 2024-05-18 test at 6,565 miles and the 2023-05-22 test at 5,477 miles show gradual mileage increases, but no significant gaps or rapid accumulation. The MOT history lacks detailed defect reports, making it difficult to assess underlying mechanical health beyond the recent failure. A buyer should inspect the vehicle for signs of neglect linked to low mileage, such as hardened tyres, corroded brake components, or a weak battery. The absence of suspension or structural defects in MOT records is positive, but the 2025 failure suggests potential issues with electrical systems, emissions, or minor mechanical faults. A pre-purchase inspection should focus on the braking system, exhaust, and electrical connections, alongside a thorough check of fluid levels and tyre condition to confirm the vehicle’s roadworthiness.
