2008 Honda CB 1300 SA-7 1.3L Petrol · LD08 CYJ

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness record, having passed all recent MOT tests up to the assessment on 2026-04-24 at 23,319 miles. The only recurring advisory across the history involves the offside rear exhaust system, specifically noted as noisy under section 8.1.1 (a) during the 2024-08-28 inspection. No structural or safety defects have been recorded since the 2023-07-26 test, indicating that the mechanical condition of the vehicle remains satisfactory despite the minor recurring exhaust issue. The mileage progression is consistent with the vehicle's age, recording approximately 1,296 miles per year over the past eighteen years. The mileage remains relatively low, suggesting light usage or infrequent operation. The history shows a minor increase in wear between 2022 and 2024, where the drive chain components, including the front and rear sprockets, were noted as worn but not considered excessive under section 6.1.7 (c) (i). This wear is typical for a vehicle of this age and mileage profile, suggesting routine maintenance of the drivetrain is generally being performed. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the exhaust system, as the noise noted in 2024 warrants investigation to determine the source of the sound. Furthermore, the drive chain wear should be checked to ensure it is not nearing a point where replacement is imminent. While the MOT history is clean, the low mileage means that general wear items such as suspension bushes, brake discs, and general corrosion should be visually inspected for signs of neglect. The record suggests a vehicle that has been reasonably well cared for, with only minor, non-critical component wear noted.
