2012 Honda CB 1000 RA-B 1.0L Petrol · LC12 YGO

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test conducted on January 26 2026 at 8,821 miles passed with no defects or advisories, continuing a clean record from the previous three annual inspections. This consistency suggests the motorcycle is well-kept and does not suffer from recurring mechanical failures or structural degradation. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 14-year-old machine, averaging approximately 630 miles per year. There is a significant four-year gap between the 2020 and 2024 MOT tests, during which the bike covered only 204 miles. Since 2020, the usage has remained minimal, with only 574 miles recorded over the last six years. While this indicates very light use, it also suggests the vehicle has likely been stationary for long periods, which can lead to the aging of rubber components rather than mechanical wear from distance. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components affected by age and stasis rather than mileage. The July 2020 test flagged front brake pads as being near the minimum limit, indicating that even with low mileage, consumables require periodic attention. Given the long intervals between use, it is vital to check for perished hoses, degraded brake fluid, and corrosion on the fork seals. Additionally, inspect the tyres for flat spotting or sidewall cracking, as low-mileage vehicles often outlast their rubber before the tread wears away.
