2008 Honda CBF 600 N-8 0.6L Petrol · LG08 VML

The vehicle remains roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on June 20, 2026, at 23,467 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a slight decline regarding the braking system. A rear brake binding fault appeared in the June 2025 test at 23,265 miles and reappeared in the latest inspection, indicating a persistent issue that has not yet been rectified. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging only approximately 1,300 miles per year. There is a significant five-year gap in the records between July 2018 and March 2023, during which the vehicle covered only 489 miles. Since 2023, the usage has increased slightly, with over 2,300 miles covered in the last three years. This pattern suggests the bike may have sat stationary for long periods, which often leads to the specific degradation of rubber components and internal corrosion of mechanical parts rather than mileage-related wear. A buyer must focus their physical inspection on the rear brake caliper and assembly. The recurring binding fault suggests a seized piston or a corroded slider pin, likely caused by the low-use history preventing the components from moving freely. Inspect the tyres for age cracking on the sidewalls, as low-mileage tyres often perish regardless of tread depth. Check the frame and suspension bolts for signs of surface rust, as long periods of storage can lead to moisture retention that the MOT tester does not always flag unless it becomes structural.
