2008 Honda VFR 800 A-8 0.8L Petrol · SL08 UYA

The vehicle maintains a high standard of roadworthiness with a consistently clean MOT history over the last five years. The most recent inspection on 29 August 2025 at 23,606 miles passed with no defects or advisories recorded. This streak of passes indicates a stable maintenance trend where the mechanical and structural components have remained within acceptable parameters without any recurring failures or escalating issues flagged by the DVSA testing process. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an 18-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 1,311 miles per year. Between June 2021 at 17,491 miles and August 2025 at 23,606 miles, the bike covered 6,115 miles over a four-year period. While this low usage suggests minimal wear on the drivetrain and engine components, the long intervals between tests indicate periods of standing which can often lead to the degradation of rubber-based components rather than mileage-related failure. A prospective buyer should focus their physical inspection on risks associated with low-mileage storage rather than wear. Since the MOT record shows no advisories for corrosion or brake components, it is vital to check for perished brake lines, seized caliper seals, and tyre tyres that may have hardened despite having sufficient tread depth. Inspect the fork seals for weeping leaks and the fuel system for varnish, as low-frequency use often masks these internal age-related degradation that a standard MOT test does not fully detect.
