Our Verdict
A highly attractive prospect for a buyer
Given the very low mileage of 10,584 miles, your primary focus should be on whether the vehicle has been stored in a dry environment and if the tyres and fluids have been refreshed despite the lack of use. Low-mileage vehicles can sometimes suffer from 'age-related' issues such as perished rubber components or seized brake calipers due to inactivity.
When negotiating, ask for evidence of any scheduled servicing, as many manufacturers recommend service intervals based on time (e.g., every 12 months) rather than just mileage. Check the condition of the chain, sprockets, and tyres, as these may show signs of age-related degradation even if the tread depth is high.
As a 998.0cc petrol motorcycle, running costs will be higher than a commuter bike but typical for a large-capacity Honda. Fuel economy will depend heavily on riding style, but you should budget for premium unleaded fuel.
Insurance groups for 1000cc machines are generally higher, so obtain a quote specific to your profile before purchasing. Maintenance costs for this model are typically moderate, though tyres and chain kits for high-performance machines can be more expensive than standard commuter parts. Estimated annual running costs are mid-range for this capacity.
Start by reviewing the MOT history, which shows no recorded defects across the last four tests, including the most recent in April 2025. This indicates no immediate issues with lighting, braking, or structural components were flagged by testers.
Specifically for this low-mileage 2012 model, inspect the fuel system for any signs of degradation from old petrol and check the braking system for any sticking components. Ensure the tyres are not cracking on the sidewalls, which is a common issue with bikes that have sat stationary for long periods.
This 2012 Honda CB 1000 RA-C in Grey shows exceptionally low mileage for its age, having covered just over 10,500 miles since its first registration in August 2012. The MOT history is remarkably clean, with four consecutive passes since 2021 and no recorded defects or failures. This combination of low usage and a defect-free testing record presents a strong value proposition for a collector or enthusiast.
No aggregate MOT data is currently available for the Honda CB 1000 RA-C to provide a statistical reliability profile.
