2008 Honda CB 1300 SA-7 1.3L Petrol · LC08 UTW

The vehicle currently holds a recent passing MOT certificate from 22 May 2026 at 34,430 miles, indicating a stable roadworthiness status following the immediate failure recorded on the same date. The history shows a pattern of minor technical issues rather than a significant decline in mechanical integrity. The most recent test confirmed the vehicle is fit for use, although the failure at that same date flagged specific functional defects concerning the main and dipped headlamps, alongside a security concern regarding the offside handlebar grip. Mileage accumulation remains low for a vehicle of this age, averaging approximately 1,913 miles per year based on the recorded history between March 2023 and May 2026. The testing history is sparse, with only three recorded inspections over a two-year period. This pattern suggests the vehicle has been used sparingly or has experienced long periods of standing, which typically results in minimal wear on major components like the suspension or drivetrain. A buyer should be aware of the specific issues noted in the 2024 and 2026 tests. The failure on 6 March 2024 indicated that all direction indicators were not working, a simple electrical fault. The 22 May 2026 failure noted issues with the headlamp operation and the handlebar security. These types of defects are generally cosmetic or electrical and do not suggest a serious structural risk. The only mechanical warning noted relates to the front brake pads being close to their minimum limit during the 2023 test. This requires immediate inspection by a qualified mechanic to assess the remaining life and condition of the brake components. No evidence of recurring failures related to suspension bushes, coil springs, or significant structural corrosion was recorded in the available documentation.
