2005 Honda CBF600 0.6L Petrol · MJ55 GVM

A consistent track record of clean MOT results characterizes this vehicle, with the most recent test on 14 May 2026 showing no defects. While the history includes advisories regarding brake pad wear in 2018 and 2019, the subsequent seven years of testing have been entirely free of recorded failures or advisories. This indicates a period of stable roadworthiness where previously noted consumable wear has been addressed and no new mechanical issues have been flagged by the DVSA. The recorded mileage of 23,569 miles over a 21-year lifespan represents an exceptionally low annual average of approximately 1,122 miles. This usage pattern suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary or has been used only for very infrequent short-distance trips. Mechanically, while this reduces the wear on high-friction components like the engine internals and drivetrain, such low usage can sometimes lead to the degradation of rubber components or seals that are not regularly exercised. Given the historical advisories regarding front and rear brake pads being close to the minimum limit, a prospective buyer should verify the current thickness of the friction material. During a test ride, pay close attention to the braking feel; listen for any squealing or grinding noises when applying pressure, and check for any sponginess or lack of modulation in the lever or pedal, which could indicate air in the system or worn components. Because the vehicle has been subject to such low annual mileage, it is prudent to inspect the condition of all external rubber elements, such as fork seals and various hoses, for signs of perishing or cracking that can occur during long periods of inactivity. On the road, listen for any irregular thuds or vibrations through the handlebars or footrests that might suggest aging suspension bushes or seals that have dried out due to the low frequency of use.
