2002 Honda Fireblade 0.9L Petrol · PK02 UAL

This vehicle demonstrates a stable and exemplary roadworthiness trend. The most recent MOT on 28 May 2025 at 16,316 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes dating back to November 2020, suggesting the motorcycle has been maintained to a high standard and remains in a mechanically sound state. The mileage is exceptionally low for a 24 year old machine, averaging roughly 680 miles per year. Between the November 2020 test at 12,857 miles and the May 2025 test at 16,316 miles, the odometer increased by only 3,459 miles over nearly five years. This low usage pattern indicates the bike has likely spent significant periods in storage rather than in active daily service. While the MOT history is flawless, the low mileage and periods of inactivity introduce specific risks. A buyer should physically inspect the tyres for age-related hardening or flat spots, as rubber perishes regardless of tread depth. The braking system requires a thorough check for binding calipers or internal corrosion within the discs, which often occurs when a vehicle stands idle. Check the fuel system for signs of varnish or gumming from old petrol and verify that the battery holds a stable charge. Given the age of the bike, a manual inspection of the fork seals and swingarm bushes is necessary to ensure the rubber components have not dried out or cracked. The lack of MOT advisories is positive, but it does not replace the need to verify the condition of consumables that do not always trigger a failure.
