2008 Honda CB1300 1.3L Petrol · LD08 LBL

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of passes. The most recent inspection on 5 July 2025 at 43,192 miles resulted in no recorded defects, indicating that the motorcycle currently meets the minimum legal safety standards. This follows a trend of clean tests over the last four years, suggesting the mechanical components have remained maintained without recurring structural or systemic failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old Honda, averaging approximately 2,400 miles per annum. Data shows a significant period of low usage between June 2023 and July 2024, where the vehicle covered only 243 miles, followed by a more active period of 2,587 miles in the following year. While this low mileage reduces the overall wear on the engine, drivetrain, and brakes, the long intervals of standing can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components, fluid acidity, and seal drying that an MOT test cannot fully detect. A buyer should pay close attention to tyres, as the July 2024 test flagged a rear tyre worn to the legal limit at 40,605 miles. This indicates a lapse in basic consumable maintenance that was likely addressed before the subsequent test. Given the low annual mileage, a physical inspection should check for sidewall cracking on tyres and perished brake lines or seals, which are common on vehicles that sit for extended periods. Checking the frame for corrosion is also advisable, although no structural defects have appeared in the record to date.
