2003 Honda CBR600 0.6L Petrol · PL03 FGU

The vehicle maintains an excellent roadworthiness record, characterized by a consistent trend of clean passes without any recorded defects or advisories. The most recent MOT conducted on 11 July 2025 at 39,847 miles confirms the motorcycle remains in a stable mechanical state. This unbroken history of defect-free inspections over the last five years indicates a high standard of preventative maintenance and careful ownership. The recorded mileage of 39,847 over a 23-year lifespan averages approximately 1,732 miles per annum, which is significantly lower than the typical usage for a machine of this type. The data shows very limited activity between the 2021 test at 39,399 miles and the current mileage, suggesting the motorcycle has spent considerable time in storage or seen only occasional seasonal use. While this low usage pattern preserves many mechanical components, it often necessitates a closer look at rubber seals, fuel system integrity, and fluid degradation, which can deteriorate during prolonged periods of inactivity. Prospective buyers should focus their physical inspection on items that do not always appear in an MOT test, specifically the condition of the fuel tank interior for corrosion and the state of the hydraulic brake lines. Although the MOT history is clean, the age of the machine means that original suspension seals and coolant hoses may be reaching the end of their service life regardless of the low mileage. Check the chain and sprocket set for signs of surface oxidation and ensure the pivot points on the swingarm and headstock bearings move freely without notchiness. The lack of historical advisories is encouraging, but a thorough check of the electrical charging system remains prudent given the infrequent usage pattern identified in the DVSA records.
