2022 Honda CMX 500 A2-L 0.5L Petrol · LC71 CRJ

This Honda CMX 500 has maintained a clean MOT history with no defects recorded in either of the two most recent tests, both conducted at the January 2025 and January 2026 intervals. The most recent pass on 23 January 2026 confirms the vehicle remains roadworthy under current DVSA standards, with no advisories or failings to suggest imminent mechanical failure. The absence of recurring issues across two tests indicates a stable maintenance pattern, though the low mileage means wear indicators like brake pad thickness or suspension bush degradation may not yet be evident. The recorded mileage of 12,736 miles at the time of the latest MOT—equivalent to roughly 3,184 miles annually—suggests the vehicle has been used sparingly over its four-year lifespan. There are no gaps or spikes in mileage between tests, with the vehicle accumulating just 2,581 miles between the January 2025 and January 2026 tests. While this low usage could imply lighter wear on high-mileage components, it also raises questions about whether the bike has been stored improperly, potentially accelerating issues like fuel system stagnation or tyre degradation. Given the clean MOT record, a prospective buyer should prioritise a thorough inspection of consumable elements that may not yet show visible wear but are critical to long-term reliability. Focus on the brake system—particularly the rear calipers and discs—for any signs of uneven wear or binding, even though no faults were recorded. The suspension, including coil springs and bushes, should be checked for cracks or excessive play, especially if the bike has been stored for extended periods. Tyre condition, despite no MOT failings, warrants scrutiny, as the low mileage could mask uneven tread wear or internal damage from improper storage. Finally, verify the integrity of the exhaust system for corrosion or leaks, as emissions compliance was not explicitly tested in these passes.
