2002 Honda CB900F-2 Hornet 0.9L Petrol · VIL 6430

The vehicle presents a stable roadworthiness profile based on the available MOT history. The most recent test conducted in August 2021 at 15,656 miles resulted in a clean pass, indicating the motorcycle met all essential standards at that time. Although a failure occurred in July 2021 at just five miles prior, the lack of recorded defects suggests either an administrative error or a minor component issue that was rectified immediately before the successful passing test. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a 24-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 652 miles per year. The data shows significant periods of inactivity, particularly between September 2018 and July 2021, during which the vehicle covered only 5 miles. This pattern suggests the bike has spent long durations in storage rather than being in regular use. While this limits mechanical wear on the drivetrain and engine internal components, it increases the risk of age-related degradation in rubber-based parts and fluid systems that an MOT test may not fully detect. An in-person inspection must focus on components affected by low-mileage storage. The buyer should check for perished fuel lines, cracked brake boots, and seized fork seals which suffer from lack of movement. Given the age of the vehicle, the structural integrity of the frame and the condition of the brake discs require close scrutiny for surface corrosion that occurs despite low mileage. The tyres should be inspected for flat spotting and dry cracking, regardless of remaining tread depth.
