2013 Honda CBR 600 FA-C 0.6L Petrol · MJ13 AEC

The most recent MOT on 2026-05-18 shows the vehicle failed due to a missing rear reflector, a nearside rear direction indicator at risk of detachment, and front brake pads close to the minimum limit. A separate pass entry on the same date also noted the brake pads nearing replacement. This indicates ongoing safety-critical issues with braking and lighting systems. Recurring defects include front brake pads consistently close to the minimum limit since at least 2023, suggesting potential neglect or excessive wear. Tyre wear near legal limits was recorded in 2025 but not in later tests, though this may reflect temporary conditions. Other issues, such as a registration plate lamp failure in 2023, highlight sporadic maintenance gaps. The trend shows no improvement in critical areas. Brake pad wear persists despite multiple MOTs, and new lighting defects emerged in 2026. While some issues (e.g., tyre wear) appear resolved, the recurring brake pad problem and new safety risks indicate a pattern of unresolved mechanical concerns. The vehicle’s low mileage (30,075 miles over 13 years, ~2,313 miles annually) suggests infrequent use or long periods of inactivity.
