2011 Honda CBR 600 RA-B 0.6L Petrol · ML11 EWZ

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass on April 3, 2026 at 5,581 miles. Although the record shows a failure on that same date, the immediate pass with no recorded defects suggests a minor issue that was rectified instantly or a clerical error in the testing process. Before this, the motorcycle had consistently passed its inspections without any recorded mechanical or structural failures over the last five years. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a fifteen-year-old machine, averaging approximately 372 miles per year. Between August 2021 and April 2026, the bike covered only 1,894 miles, with a gap of 552 miles between the 2025 and 2026 tests. This pattern indicates the vehicle has spent significant periods in storage or used sparingly. While this limits wear on the engine and drivetrain, it introduces risks associated with the degradation of rubber components and fluids that occur regardless of use. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components that age with time rather than distance. Low-mileage bikes left stationary are prone to tyre dry rot and cracking in the sidewalls regardless of tread depth. The tester should check for perished brake hoses, seized caliper sliders, and degraded fork seals that may be leaking. Additionally, the frame should be inspected for corrosion, as long-term storage in damp environments can lead to structural rust that an MOT might not flag until it reaches a critical failure.
