2011 Honda CB 600 FA-3-A 0.6L Petrol · LG61 OOA

The vehicle demonstrates a stable roadworthiness profile, passing its most recent MOT on 3 April 2026 at 19,526 miles with no recorded defects. This follows a consistent pattern of annual testing, though the maintenance trend shows intermittent minor issues regarding consumables. While the 2025 test flagged a slightly tight drive chain, the 2026 result suggests this has been addressed or the component has settled. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 2011 model, averaging roughly 1,300 miles per year. The data shows significant periods of inactivity, such as the gap between the 2020 test at 14,977 miles and the 2021 test at 17,472 miles, where the vehicle covered over 2,400 miles, compared to much smaller increments in later years. This pattern of low usage often indicates a vehicle that has spent long periods stationary, which can lead to specific degradation issues despite the low mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain. A prospective buyer should focus on the condition of the tyres and braking components. The MOT history shows a recurring trend of tyres being worn close to the legal limit, specifically in 2017, 2022, and 2023. Although the 2026 test was clean, the age of the rubber is a concern given the low mileage. The 2023 test also identified wear on the nearside front, offside front, and rear brake discs. While these were noted as not being excessively worn at the time, the age of the vehicle suggests checking for surface corrosion on the discs or seized calipers resulting from infrequent use. The drive chain requires a physical inspection to ensure proper tension and lubrication, following the advisories for a loose chain in 2022 and a tight chain in 2025. Given the documented history of low annual mileage, checking for perished rubber seals, dried-out suspension bushes, and fuel system integrity is advisable to mitigate risks associated with long-term storage.
