2006 Honda CB 600 F-6 0.6L Petrol · RO56 ACU

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, evidenced by a clean pass in the most recent MOT test on 27 May 2025 at 27,153 miles. This follows a period of consistent maintenance where the only minor defect occurred in April 2024 when the tester flagged rear brake pads nearing the minimum limit. The fact that the subsequent test recorded no defects suggests the owner addressed these wear items promptly after the previous inspection. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,358 miles per year. There is a notable gap in recorded data between 2012 and 2016, during which the bike covered only 3,673 miles over four years. Since May 2016, usage has increased more steadily, moving from 15,582 to 27,153 miles. While low mileage generally reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine, the long intervals between use increase the risk of age-related degradation in rubber components, seals, and fluid chemistry which often accompanies such under-use. A buyer should focus their physical inspection on the steering and exhaust systems, as the 2012 test identified slight free play in the steering head bearings and a noisy exhaust. Although these passed in later tests, these components are prone to corrosion or seizing if the vehicle sits for long periods. Given the low mileage, specifically inspect the tyres and brake lines to ensure they have not perished or cracked from age, as tread depth often masks material fatigue in these scenarios. The overall history suggests a vehicle that has been well-kept and remains technically sound despite its age.
