2022 Honda CB 500 XA-N 0.5L Petrol · LJ22 XSY

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile, evidenced by the most recent MOT pass on 18 March 2026 at 69,613 miles, which resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This indicates a consistent standard of maintenance and suggests that the previous owner has maintained the motorcycle to meet minimum safety requirements without recurring mechanical failures during the testing process. The mileage accumulation is notably high for a four-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 17,400 miles per annum. Between the 26 February 2025 test at 40,391 miles and the March 2026 test, the bike covered 29,222 miles in just over a year. This rapid increase points to heavy annual use, likely long-distance commuting, which typically accelerates the wear on drivetrain components and suspension elements compared to lower-mileage examples. Given the clean MOT history despite the high usage, a physical inspection should focus on the components most susceptible to high-frequency stress. A buyer must evaluate the drive chain androckets for stretch and wear, as well as the front fork seals for signs of leakage caused by high mileage. The brake pads and discs should be checked for thickness and scoring, as the high mileage suggests these consumables may be nearing the end of their service life.
