2022 Honda CB 1000 RA-M 1.0L Petrol · LB22 BJE

The 2022 Honda CB 1000 RA-M presents a stable and reassuring maintenance trend, with no recorded defects at its most recent MOT on 9 December 2025. The clean pass at 3,325 miles indicates that the motorcycle met all roadworthiness standards on that date, with no advisories or failures noted. Given the limited test history available, the trend is stable rather than demonstrably improving or worsening, as there is only a single recorded entry to analyse. The mileage pattern is notably low for a machine of this age. At approximately 831 miles per year over four years, the usage is well below typical annual averages for a large-capacity motorcycle. The recorded mileage of 3,325 miles on 9 December 2025 aligns with this gradual accumulation, and there are no gaps or sudden spikes in the data to suggest odometer irregularities or periods of intense use. The sparse but clean record simply reflects a lightly ridden machine with minimal annual mileage. Prospective buyers should approach the low-mileage profile with measured caution rather than assuming reduced wear is universally beneficial. Motorcycles that stand for extended periods can develop issues unrelated to mileage, including fuel system degradation, tyre sidewall cracking from age rather than use, seized brake calipers from inactivity, and dried-out suspension seals. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee that these latent conditions are absent, as they may not have manifested at the time of testing. A thorough in-person inspection should focus on the condition of tyres, checking manufacture dates and sidewall integrity even if tread depth remains adequate. Brake calipers and discs should be examined for corrosion or binding that can develop from prolonged standing. The chain, sprockets, and suspension components merit close attention for signs of seizure or deterioration from lack of use. Fuel quality and tank condition should also be assessed, as stale fuel and internal corrosion are common in low-mileage machines that sit unused for weeks or months at a time.
