2015 Honda CB 0.6L Petrol · PJ64 VOK

The vehicle is currently roadworthy following a pass in June 2025, but the recent MOT history reveals a trend of reactive rather than proactive maintenance. While the most recent test at 25,144 miles cleared the insecure indicator switch, the failure just two days prior at 25,108 miles highlighted significant mechanical neglect. The presence of a stiff steering headbearing and an excessively tight drive chain during that failed test suggests that critical moving components were not serviced until they reached a point of inspection failure. At 25,144 miles over 11 years, this Honda has covered exceptionally low mileage, averaging approximately 2,286 miles per year. This low usage pattern often leads to vehicles sitting for long periods, which explains the degradation of rubber-based components and potential seizing issues. The gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests shows a steady accumulation of roughly 4,350 miles, yet the advisory for a front tyre worn close to the legal limit at 23,521 miles indicates that basic consumable upkeep was overlooked despite the low annual travel distance. A prospective buyer must physically inspect the steering assembly to ensure the headbearing has been properly adjusted or replaced following the 2025 failure. The drive chain also requires a thorough check for stretch and sprocket wear, as excessive tension causes premature damage to the output shaft and seals. Additionally, the slight brake effort fluctuation noted in 2023 at 18,673 miles warrants a check of the rear disc for warping or pitting. Given the low mileage, the buyer should also examine the tyres for age cracking and perished seals, which are common in older vehicles that remain stationary for long intervals.
