2018 Honda CBR 0.1L Petrol · LB18 AVF

The 2025‑10‑09 MOT at 21,877 miles confirms roadworthiness, but the tester recorded a faulty indicator switch (4.4.2 (a) (i)) and two direction indicator failures (4.4.4 (a)), together with slight brake effort fluctuation (1.2.1 (e)). Earlier MOTs in 2024, 2023 and 2022 showed no defects, indicating a stable baseline with only minor recurring electrical and brake concerns. The vehicle, registered in 2018, has accumulated 21,877 miles, averaging 2,735 miles per year, a rate consistent with regular use rather than long periods of standing. Mileage rose from 11,287 miles in August 2021 to 14,424 miles in August 2022 (2,137‑mile increase), then to 18,532 miles in August 2023 (4,108‑mile increase), 20,155 miles in October 2024 (1,623‑mile increase) and finally 21,877 miles in October 2025 (1,722‑mile increase), showing a steady but modest accumulation without abrupt spikes. A buyer should therefore inspect the front suspension bushes and coil springs for wear or binding, examine the brake discs and calipers for uneven wear or sticking, and verify the condition of the brake fluid and pedal feel, given the recorded fluctuation. Visual checks for structural rust on the chassis, especially around the wheel arches and sills, and assessment of the exhaust system for corrosion or loose mounting are also advisable. Finally, the indicator switch and direction indicator circuits should be tested for proper operation, and the condition of the front brake lines and pads inspected, as the previous test flagged both electrical faults and brake effort variation. Tyre tread depth and wiper blade condition, while consumable, merit verification as part of a comprehensive pre‑purchase assessment.
