2009 Honda CBR1000RR 1.0L Petrol · LB58 LMJ

The vehicle presents a high level of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test in March 2026 at 41,080 miles resulted in no defects, maintaining a stable trend of mechanical compliance over the last five recorded years. This consistency suggests that the motorcycle has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from mechanical failures or structural degradation that typically trigger advisories or test failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old machine, averaging approximately 2,400 miles per year. Between March 2022 and February 2023, the bike covered only 1,054 miles, indicating very light use. A more significant increase in usage occurred between April 2024 and April 2025, where 2,311 miles were recorded, yet this remains well below the national average. While low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components, it often increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber and fluid components rather than mechanical friction. Because the MOT record shows no recurring faults, a buyer must still remain vigilant for issues associated with low-mileage storage. Physical inspection should focus on the condition of fork seals, tyre rubber, and brake lines, which can perish or crack over time regardless of mileage. Check for corrosion on the frame and exhaust system, as the MOT does not always flag surface rust unless it becomes structural. Given the age, verifying the age of the brake fluid and the state of the coolant is essential to ensure the bike has not suffered during its long periods of standing.
