2008 Honda CBR 1.0L Petrol · SL08 GWG

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness, evidenced by a consistent history of clean passes. The most recent test on 04 August 2025 at 29,473 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend indicates a stable maintenance regime where the mechanical and structural components meet all regulatory requirements without recurring failures or progressive degradation over the last five inspection cycles. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eighteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,637 miles per year. Data shows a significant period of inactivity between March 2022 and December 2020, where the vehicle covered only 32 miles in over twenty months. Since the 2022 test, usage has increased more steadily, covering 2,365 miles between the 2022 and 2025 tests. This low mileage suggests the bike has spent long periods stationary, which often places different types of stress on rubber and fluid components than high-mileage use. Despite the clean MOT record, a buyer must inspect for issues associated with age and low-mileage patterns. Low mileage frequently leads to tyre rot, perished rubber fuel hoses, and degraded brake lines, regardless of tread depth. The tester does not assess internal corrosion in the fuel tank or the fork seals that may have seized due to long periods of standing. Physical inspection of the frame for surface rust and the integrity of the brake calipers is essential, as the MOT only confirms the presence of functional components at the moment of the test.
