2008 Honda CB1300 1.3L Petrol · MW57 VSZ

Eight consecutive MOT tests between August 2019 and July 2026 have been recorded as passes with no defects, the most recent on 25 July 2026, giving a stable record of test-day compliance with no recurring advisories or failure points. The recorded mileage of 23,962 miles across approximately 18 years equates to roughly 1,331 miles per year, a low annual accumulation that suggests limited use rather than high-mileage wear on consumables such as brake pads, tyres, drive chain, and sprockets. Testing has occurred at regular annual intervals with no extended gaps in the MOT history, so there is no evidence of prolonged statutory off-road periods in the provided record. This usage profile points to reduced component wear relative to a higher-mileage example of the same age, although rubber seals, hoses, and braking components may still exhibit age-related deterioration. Because no advisories or defects have been recorded on any of the eight tests, there are no specific suspension arms, brake pipes, subframe corrosion issues, or oil leaks identified by the DVSA that require targeted investigation. A prospective buyer should nevertheless conduct a focused physical inspection appropriate to an 18-year-old motorcycle, listening for knocks from the front forks or rear shock over bumps, checking for steering pull or uneven brake response, and feeling for judder or binding through the brake lever and pedal. Engine and gearbox areas should be visually checked for oil misting around seals and gaskets, while the drive chain and sprockets should be assessed for wear consistent with the recorded mileage. The MOT history confirms that the vehicle met minimum roadworthiness standards at each test date but does not guarantee freedom from developing faults or continued compliance between test dates. An independent pre-purchase inspection by a qualified motorcycle technician is recommended to verify the condition of suspension, braking, and drivetrain components before purchase.
