2013 Honda CB 500 F-A 0.5L Petrol · LM13 EJY

The 2025-10-02 MOT at 45,305 miles confirms the Honda CB500 F‑A remains roadworthy, with no defects recorded and a consistent pass rate across all subsequent tests. At 13 years old, the recorded 45,305 miles equate to roughly 3,485 miles per year, indicating light usage or extended periods of inactivity. Mileage has risen steadily from 32,550 miles in October 2022 to 45,305 miles by October 2025, a gain of 12,755 miles over three years, or about 4,250 miles annually, which is modest compared with typical wear rates. The 2022-10-03 failure entry shows the same mileage as the following pass on 2022-10-04, suggesting a possible re‑test rather than a new mileage increment. A buyer should therefore inspect the suspension bushes and coil springs for signs of wear or binding, examine the rear brake calipers and discs for uneven wear or corrosion, and check the exhaust system and chassis rails for rust that could compromise structural integrity. Although no defects have been logged, the low mileage suggests that consumable items such as tyres, wiper blades and brake pads may be due for replacement, and a visual assessment of the bodywork for hidden corrosion is advisable.
