2011 Honda CBR 600 FA-B 0.6L Petrol · RO61 ABX

The vehicle’s most recent MOT on 2026-02-08 at 10,222 miles passed without defects, confirming current roadworthiness. Over the past five annual tests—all conducted within the standard 12-month window—there have been no advisories or failures, suggesting a stable maintenance pattern. The absence of recurring issues across multiple tests implies that major components like suspension, brakes, and structural integrity have not deteriorated beyond MOT thresholds. However, the lack of advisories or defects does not preclude hidden wear, particularly given the low mileage, which may mask deeper concerns like corrosion or neglected fluid changes. The recorded mileage of 10,222 miles over 15 years—approximately 681 miles annually—is unusually low for a vehicle of this age. The incremental jumps between tests (e.g., 9,190 to 10,222 miles between 2025-03-13 and 2026-02-08) indicate minimal usage, which could either reflect careful storage or prolonged inactivity. Such low mileage raises questions about fluid service history, as prolonged standing can degrade brake fluid, coolant, and lubricants even without significant mechanical stress. The consistent annual testing suggests the vehicle has been kept in use rather than stored, but the low mileage still warrants scrutiny of consumables that degrade over time regardless of distance travelled. Given the clean MOT history, a buyer should prioritise an inspection of components prone to wear without high mileage, such as brake calipers and pads for corrosion or uneven wear, and suspension bushes for drying or cracking. The lack of advisories does not rule out subtle issues like binding brake calipers or degraded coil springs, which may not trigger MOT failures but could affect handling. Additionally, the vehicle’s age necessitates checking for corrosion in wheel arches, subframes, and exhaust systems, as these are common failure points on older motorcycles. A thorough fluid analysis—brake, engine oil, and coolant—is essential, as stagnation can lead to contamination or failure without visible mileage-related wear.
