2021 Honda CB 500 XA-M 0.5L Petrol · MV71 TYP

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness with a perfectly stable maintenance trend. The most recent MOT test conducted on 30 August 2025 at 13,388 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This indicates that the previous owner has maintained the motorcycle to a standard where all mechanical and safety components are currently operating within manufacturer parameters without signs of premature failure. The mileage pattern is notably low for a five-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,678 miles per year. Between the September 2024 test at 8,708 miles and the August 2025 test, the bike covered 4,680 miles. This consistent interval suggests light use or short-distance commuting, which typically results in less wear on the drivetrain, chain, and brake components. The clean record reflects a lack of the mechanical stress often seen in higher-mileage vehicles. Since the MOT history shows no recurring faults or structural concerns, a physical inspection should focus on issues related to low-mileage storage. Inspect the tyres for sidewall cracking or flat spotting, as rubber compounds can degrade over time if the vehicle sits for long periods. Check the chain androckets for tension and lubrication, and verify that the fluid levels, particularly brake fluid, have not absorbed moisture despite the low usage.
