2014 Honda CBR 0.1L Petrol · LC63 TTV

This Honda CBR presents a stable and improving maintenance trend, culminating in a fully clean MOT pass on 12 October 2024 at 23,286 miles with zero defects recorded. The most recent test outcome indicates the motorcycle currently meets all roadworthiness standards without any advisories or failures. The mileage profile tells a story of exceptionally low usage. Between 2021 and 2024, the machine covered roughly 8,000 miles over three years, averaging under 2,700 miles annually. The 2022 record shows a failed test on 4 April at 19,507 miles for a non-functioning headlamp dipped beam, followed immediately by a pass the next day at 19,509 miles, confirming the bulb was replaced promptly. The gap between the April 2022 test and the October 2023 test at 19,932 miles reveals only 425 miles of use across eighteen months, suggesting prolonged periods of storage. A clean MOT record is reassuring but masks the reality of a twelve-year-old machine standing idle for extended stretches. Seals, gaskets, and rubber components degrade through age and inactivity rather than mileage alone. A prospective buyer should inspect the fork seals for weeping, check the brake calipers for seized pistons or binding sliders given the machine's low mileage, and examine the tyre date codes closely, as perished rubber from age poses a genuine handling risk regardless of remaining tread depth. The 2021 advisory for front brake pads near the minimum limit at 15,189 miles was a straightforward consumable wear item, and the subsequent clean passes suggest pads were replaced. Still, the front brake discs should be measured for thickness and checked for scoring or lipping. Suspension linkage play and swingarm pivot bearings deserve attention, as infrequent use can cause brinelling in bearings that appear sound on a static check but reveal themselves under load. The exhaust system should be inspected for internal corrosion, particularly if the machine has been stored in damp conditions between short rides.
