2002 Honda VFR800 FI 0.8L Petrol · MK52 UXR

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent pass record over the last four years. The most recent test on 18 June 2025 at 57,664 miles resulted in a pass following an initial failure for a non-functional dipped headlamp. This minor electrical fault was clearly rectified immediately, as the lack of any recorded defects or advisories across the 2022 to 2024 tests suggests the mechanical and structural components remain in good condition. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,400 miles per year. Between June 2022 at 48,099 miles and June 2025 at 57,664 miles, the vehicle covered 9,565 miles, showing consistent but low-intensity usage. This rate indicates the bike was likely stored properly and used for short trips, though such low mileage on an older vehicle often masks the degradation of rubber-based components such as brake lines, hoses, and seals which age out rather than mileage alone. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on components susceptible to age-related wear rather than mileage. Since the MOT history shows no structural rust or brake corrosion, the priority shifts to checking the condition of the fork seals for leaks and the state of the tyres for dry rot. Inspect the brake fluid for moisture and ensure the fuel system has not suffered from varnish given the long intervals between potential use. The clean history suggests a previous owner who maintained the bike, but the low mileage necessitates a thorough check of any perished rubber parts.
