2008 Honda CBR 1000 RR-7 1.0L Petrol · PO58 AVK

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its most recent inspection on 7 June 2025 with no recorded defects. While the record shows a failure on that same date at 7,161 miles, the lack of recorded defects suggests an administrative error or a minor issue rectified immediately before the re-test. Since 2022, the motorcycle has consistently maintained a clean sheet without any advisories or mechanical failures. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old machine, averaging approximately 400 miles per year. Between March 2022 and June 2023, the bike covered only 7 miles, indicating long periods of stationary storage. A more active period occurred between June 2023 and June 2025, where the vehicle clocked 1,728 miles. This erratic usage pattern suggests the bike is used for seasonal trips rather than daily commuting. While low mileage reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber and fluids. A buyer must focus the inspection on components affected by time and sitting rather than distance. Dry rot on tyres, sidewalls, cracking in fuel lines, and perished fork seals are high risks given the age. The buyer should check the brake calipers for seizing and discs for pitting, as infrequent use often leads to surface corrosion and binding. Additionally, the structural integrity of the frame and swingarm should be verified for corrosion, as the MOT record does not provide a deep inspection of hidden rust in long-term storage environments.
