2011 Honda CBR 250 R-B 0.2L Petrol · SM11 AHA

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT on 12 September 2025 with 14,474 miles. The maintenance trend appears stable, despite a minor failure on that same day due to the offside front tyre reaching a depth of 1.0mm. This failure was rectified immediately, as the subsequent test showed no further defects recorded, indicating that the owner is attentive to safety-critical items when flagged by the tester. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for a fifteen-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 965 miles per year. The data shows significant intervals between use, such as the 4,316 miles driven between September 2022 and September 2023, and the 3,968-mile gap between the 2023 and 2024 tests. While low mileage suggests minimal mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain components, the long periods of inactivity can lead to degradation of rubber-based components, fluid acidity, and corrosion that is not always captured by MOT inspections. A physical inspection should focus on the effects of low-mileage storage. The 2023 test at 7,011 miles noted a bent front brake lever, which should be checked for signs of secondary damage to the master cylinder or reservoir. Given the low usage, the buyer must inspect the tyres for flat spotting or sidewall cracking, as age often outlasts tread life on such stationary vehicles. Additionally, examine the brake discs for pitting or corrosion and the suspension seals for seizing, as components that sit for long periods frequently suffer from surface oxidation despite low odometer readings.
