2009 Honda CBR 1000 RR-8 1.0L Petrol · MK09 LUE

The vehicle currently holds roadworthy status following a successful inspection in February 2026. The maintenance trend appears stable, as the owner has consistently addressed mechanical failures immediately upon testing. The most recent test in February 2026 at 37,483 miles initially failed due to a serious fluid leak in the offside front shock absorber, but this was rectified to allow the bike to pass on the same day with no further defects. At 37,483 miles, this 17-year-old motorcycle has covered exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 2,200 miles per year. The data shows consistent usage patterns with roughly 3,700 miles covered between the February 2024 and 2025 tests, and another 3,618 miles between 2025 and 2026. While this low mileage suggests limited mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it often leads to the degradation of rubber-based components and seals due to age and potential periods of inactivity. A physical inspection should focus on the front suspension to ensure the replacement shock absorber has been fitted correctly and shows no signs of secondary weeping. The failure in February 2025 regarding the non-functional stop lamp indicates a previous issue with the brake light switch or wiring, which should be verified for consistent operation. Given the age of the vehicle and the low mileage, the buyer must also check for perished tyres, cracked brake lines, and corrosion on the brake discs, as these issues occur regardless of the distance driven.
