1998 Honda CRM AR CRM250 0.3L Petrol · S993 BTV

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status with a consistent history of clean MOT passes over several years. The most recent test conducted in April 2025 at 11,578 miles resulted in no recorded defects or advisories. This trend suggests that the motorcycle has been maintained in a well-preserved state and that the mechanical components are not currently experiencing rapid degradation or failure during the testing process. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 28-year-old machine, averaging approximately 414 miles per year. Between March 2018 and April 2025, the vehicle covered only 3,525 miles, indicating infrequent use or long periods of storage. The jump of 2,053 miles between the 2023 and 2025 tests reflects this pattern of minimal usage. While low mileage limits wear on the drivetrain and engine, it often introduces risks associated with age-related material fatigue that an MOT test may not fully capture. A buyer must prioritize a physical inspection of components susceptible to time and long-term storage. Despite the clean records, the prospective owner should check for perished rubber seals, degraded brake lines, and seized calipers which often occur when a vehicle sits stationary. The integrity of the frame and suspension components should be scrutinized for hidden corrosion, as low-mileage use does not prevent oxidation of metal surfaces over three decades. Additionally, tyres should be checked for cracking and dry rot, as the compound hard out regardless of the remaining tread depth.
