2012 Honda CBR 600 FA-B 0.6L Petrol · SW12 BNB

The 2012 Honda CBR 600 FA-B holds a fully roadworthy status as confirmed by the 5 August 2025 MOT test at 9,132 miles, which recorded no defects and passed without advisory. Across the five examinations held between 2021 and 2025, the maintenance trend stays completely stable, with each tester returning a clean result and no recurring mechanical faults. Odometer readings show 9,132 miles over approximately fourteen years, an average of 652 miles per year that marks exceptionally light use for a middleweight sports machine. The record captures a brief active phase between 25 October 2021, 5,703 miles, and 3 October 2022, 8,447 miles, adding 2,744 miles in under twelve months. From that point the accumulation collapses: 512 miles to 4 August 2023, 114 miles to 8 August 2024, and just 59 miles to the latest 2025 test. This trajectory implies the previous keeper rode the motorcycle regularly for one season then placed it into long-term storage with only sporadic outings. No advisories appear in the history, so the DVSA files reveal no pattern of suspension bush wear, brake disc scoring, or exhaust corrosion requiring intervention. The absence of faults should not preclude a careful physical inspection given the prolonged standing periods. A buyer must check the front fork seals for weepage, assess the drive chain for tension and rust, and confirm the rear brake caliper does not bind after inactivity. Tyre sidewalls may exhibit perishing despite adequate tread, and the steel exhaust headers could show surface oxidation invisible during a pass result. The flawless MOT sequence suggests the former owner addressed any pre-test issues promptly and stored the machine under cover. Such discipline reduces risk of hidden structural decay, though a pre-purchase inspection remains prudent for a fourteen-year-old low-mileage example.
