2004 Honda CBR 600 RR-4 0.6L Petrol · RY04 AAV

An exceptionally low usage profile defines this vehicle, which has maintained a consistent record of passing MOT inspections since 2017 without any recorded defects. While the most recent test on 30 April 2026 resulted in a pass with no advisories, the historical record shows a single failure in October 2014 regarding indicator flash rates and a subsequent advisory concerning front suspension assembly play. Since that 2014 period, the testing history has remained clear of any mechanical failures or advisories, indicating a stable trend in its documented roadworthiness. The recorded mileage of 13,487 miles over a 22-year lifespan represents an average annual accumulation of approximately 613 miles. This extremely low mileage suggests the vehicle has spent significant periods stationary or was used only for very infrequent trips. Mechanically, such a pattern means that while traditional wear items like engine internals or drivetrain components may show minimal fatigue, other elements such as rubber seals, gaskets, and various suspension bushes may have been subject to age-related degradation rather than mechanical wear. There is also a notable gap in the MOT testing history between 2020 and 2023, which is consistent with the low-mileage usage pattern. Given the specific advisory noted in 2014 regarding slight free play between the sliding members of the front suspension assembly, a prospective buyer should pay close attention to the front end during a test ride. While no further issues have been flagged in the subsequent twelve years of testing, it is prudent to check for any unusual sensations in the steering or front-end stability. Listen for any rhythmic clicking, knocking, or clunking sounds when navigating uneven surfaces or applying the front brakes, as these can be symptoms of play in the fork components or related suspension linkages. The low frequency of use also necessitates a physical inspection of all fluid levels and the condition of rubber components that may have perished from lack of movement. Beyond the suspension, ensure that the electrical system, specifically the indicators that caused the 2014 failure, operates at the correct frequency and without flickering. A thorough check of the braking system for any signs of binding or uneven pad wear is also advisable, as components that remain stationary for long periods can sometimes develop surface corrosion or seized calipers.
