2017 Honda CBR 0.1L Petrol · LO66 CGV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy but the maintenance history shows a worsening trend regarding mechanical wear and component degradation. While the most recent test in January 2026 at 11,220 miles passed, the advisories indicate a lack of proactive maintenance. The transition from a clean record in early 2024 to a failure for a worn chain and multiple advisories in 2026 suggests that components are only addressed once they approach failure rather than during routine servicing. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a nine-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,247 miles per year. This suggests the bike sits for long periods. There is a significant gap in records between the May 2022 test at 3,906 miles and the January 2024 test, where the bike covered 3,054 miles in under 20 months. Such low usage followed by periods of inactivity often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components and fluids, which aligns with the recent mechanical issues identified despite the low odometer reading. A physical inspection must focus on the steering head bearings, which the tester flagged as stiff or notchy during the January 2026 test. This condition indicates internal pitting or lack of lubrication from long stationary periods. The buyer should also inspect the drive chain and sprockets, as the chain failed for excessive wear in early 2024 and was noted as slightly loose and worn again this year. The front tyre is also at the legal limit, requiring immediate replacement to ensure adequate grip. Additionally, the deteriorated registration plate has been noted in two consecutive years and requires replacement to remain compliant.
