2009 Honda CB 1000 R-9 1.0L Petrol · MK59 RYG

The vehicle presents an exceptionally clean roadworthiness profile, maintaining a perfectly stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 28 May 2026 at 24,329 miles passed with no defects recorded, mirroring the clean sheets seen across the previous five testing cycles. This consistency suggests the motorcycle has been maintained to a high standard and has not suffered from recurring mechanical or structural failures over its lifespan. The mileage pattern is remarkably low for a seventeen-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,431 miles per year. The data shows significant intervals between use, such as the 859-mile gap between the 2025 and 2026 tests and the 626-mile gap between 2021 and 2022. While this low usage limits general wear on the engine and drivetrain, it also indicates the vehicle likely sits for long periods, which can lead to rubber-based degradation and fluid stagnation rather than mechanical fatigue. Because the MOT record shows no historical faults or advisories, a physical inspection should focus on the risks associated with low-mileage storage. A buyer must check for dry cracking in tyres, perished brake hoses, and internal corrosion within the fuel tank that often occurs when petrol sits stationary. Attention should also be paid to seized brake calipers or leaking fork seals, as these components frequently fail due to lack of movement rather than high-mileage.
