2008 Honda CB1300 1.3L Petrol · PM56 TAD

The vehicle presents a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent record of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted on 28 May 2026 at 21,482 miles showed no defects or advisories. This indicates a stable maintenance trend where the mechanical and structural components meet all regulatory requirements without the presence of recurring faults or degradation in the tested areas. The usage pattern is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,200 miles per year. Between April 2022 at 16,852 miles and May 2026 at 21,482 miles, the vehicle covered only 4,630 miles. While this low mileage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between tests indicate the bike may have sat for extended periods. The consistency of the annual testing shows that the owner maintains a proactive approach to keeping the vehicle road-legal despite the low frequency of use. Despite the clean MOT history, a buyer must physically inspect for issues associated with low-mileage, long storage. Inspection should focus on rubber-based components such as perished tyres, degraded fork seals, and perished brake lines which can fail due to age rather than distance. Check for corrosion on the brake discs and surface pitting on the suspension components, as stationary vehicles are prone to atmospheric oxidation. Additionally, verify the fluid levels for moisture contamination to ensure that the low usage has not led to internal oil or fluid degradation in an otherwise pristine mechanical system.
