2009 Honda CB1000 1.0L Petrol · RJ59 CFE

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean MOT passes. The most recent test on 21 April 2026 at 28,940 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend indicates a stable maintenance regime where mechanical components are being kept to a standard that meets DVSA safety requirements without the recurring failures or structural degradation often seen in motorcycles of this age. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a seventeen-year-old machine, averaging approximately 1,700 miles per year. The data shows a significant gap in usage between March 2022 and April 2023, where the bike covered only 2,874 miles over thirteen months. Since 2023, the mileage accumulation has remained steady, averaging roughly 600 to 700 miles per annum. This low usage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine internals, though it also increases the likelihood of age-related degradation in rubber components and fluid chemistry. Despite the lack of recorded mechanical faults, a buyer must focus on specific areas associated with low-mileageterm storage. A physical inspection should check for perished brake hoses, cracking in fork seals, and perished tyre sidewalls which occur over time regardless of tread depth. Because the MOT record does not flag corrosion, the structural integrity of the frame and swingarm should be verified to ensure no hidden rust has developed during periods of inactivity. Ensure that the brake fluid and coolant are fresh, as these fluids degrade over several years even if the vehicle is rarely ridden.
