2003 Honda CB900 0.9L Petrol · LD53 LVM

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the most recent inspection indicates a shift toward reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While it passed four consecutive tests between 2022 and 2025 without any defects, the test in May 2026 at 26,300 miles introduced three advisories. The presence of front and rear tyres reaching the legal tread limit, alongside a bent brake lever and pedal, suggests that basic consumables and cosmetic hardware are being neglected until they reach a point of failure. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 23-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,143 miles per year. Between May 2022 and May 2026, the vehicle covered only 1,018 miles, showing a consistent pattern of minimal use over the last four years. This low mileage often implies the bike sits for long periods, which warrants caution. Such usage patterns frequently lead to the degradation of rubber components, such as perished seals, fork oil, and tyres, which are not reflected in the low odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a physical inspection of the braking system and controls to address the recent advisories regarding bent lever and pedal. The tester noted these despite the brakes remaining functional, indicating potential damage from a fall or rough handling. Given the low mileage and age, the inspection should also check for corrosion on the frame and perished perished or cracked brake lines, which are common on vehicles that remain stationary. The tyres also require immediate replacement as they are at the legal limit, likely posing a safety risk regardless of tread depth.
