2001 Honda CBR600FS 0.6L Petrol · SF51 XOX

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance history indicates a trend of reactive rather than proactive upkeep. The most recent test on 22 October 2025 at 21,084 miles resulted in a failure due to a non-functional registration plate lamp and a rear tyre reaching the legal limit. While the bike passed immediately upon rectification, the recurrence of tyre wear issues suggests the owner waits for MOT failures to address basic consumable components rather than performing scheduled replacements. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a 25-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 843 miles per year. Between September 2022 and October 2025, the vehicle covered 7,604 miles, maintaining a consistent pattern of low-intensity use. This total recorded mileage of 21,084 miles suggests minimal mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, but low-mileage, high-age vehicles often mask the degradation of rubber components, seals, and fluid-related issues like oxidation which is not captured by a standard MOT test. A buyer must physically inspect the condition of the tyres thoroughly, as the 2025 record noted centre wear on the rear tyre which could indicate incorrect inflation pressure or alignment issues. The 2022 failure regarding the clutch lever fouling the headlight switch indicates that mechanical adjustments may suffer from play or have been neglected over time. Given the age and low mileage, the priority should be checking for structural corrosion on the frame, perished fork seals, and the condition of the brake lines, as these components fail due to time and standing periods rather than distance travelled.
