2008 Honda CBR 600 F6 0.6L Petrol · MW08 GSV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend shows a pattern of recurring minor electrical and mechanical oversights. The most recent test on 18 May 2026 at 37,892 miles resulted in a pass following a failure for a bent rear brake pedal and an inoperative indicator switch. While the electrical fault appears resolved, the persistence of the bent brake pedal advisory across three consecutive annual tests suggests a reactive approach to minor repairs rather than preventative maintenance. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 2,105 miles per year. Between the tests in May 2024 at 33,766 miles and May 2025 at 35,926 miles, the vehicle covered 2,160 miles, indicating consistent low usage. This low mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but it increases the likelihood of rubber-based components degrading, seals drying, or corrosion forming if the bike sits for long periods between rides. A buyer must physically inspect the rear brake assembly and linkage, as the bent pedal has been flagged since at least May 2025. The 2024 failure regarding a loose nearside drive chain also necessitates a thorough check of the chain tension and sprocket condition to ensure they have not stretched excessively. Given the low mileage, specific attention should also be paid to tyre cracking, brake fluid hygroscopy, and fork oil seals, as these components often fail through age rather than distance on low-use vehicles.
