2017 Honda CBR 0.1L Petrol · LS67 YSF

The vehicle’s most recent MOT tests, conducted simultaneously on 2024-11-07 at 36,594 miles , reveal an unusual but technically compliant history—both tests passed without recorded defects, despite the duplicate entries suggesting administrative confusion rather than mechanical issues. The lack of advisories or failings across all five tests implies no recurring problems with suspension bushes, coil springs, binding calipers, or exhaust emissions, which are common failure points on this model. However, the absence of any recorded faults does not preclude hidden wear; the 2024 tests occurring just 12 months apart at identical mileage suggests either a missed renewal or a deliberate attempt to bypass the annual cycle, which warrants scrutiny of service records beyond the MOT. The mileage progression of 4,066 miles per year is unusually low for a nine-year-old motorcycle, particularly given the model’s typical usage patterns. Over the five-year span from 2021-11-16 (18,759 miles) to 2024-11-07 (36,594 miles) , there are no gaps exceeding 18 months, indicating consistent but minimal use—potentially storage or infrequent riding. While low mileage generally correlates with reduced wear on consumables like tyres and brake pads, it also raises questions about fluid degradation (brakes, chain, clutch) and potential corrosion from prolonged inactivity, especially in exposed components like the frame and exhaust. Given the clean MOT record, a buyer should prioritise an in-person inspection of tyre tread depth and lateral wear , as no advisories were logged despite the low mileage. The braking system —particularly rear calipers and discs—should be checked for uneven wear or binding, as these are often silent failures on high-performance bikes. Structural integrity of the aluminium frame and swingarm must be examined for stress cracks or corrosion, especially if the bike has spent extended periods stationary. Finally, the chain and sprocket condition , clutch operation, and exhaust system for leaks or rust should be verified, as these components degrade predictably with low-mileage neglect. The absence of MOT advisories does not guarantee these areas are sound.
