2013 Honda CBR 0.2L Petrol · VO13 YLG

The current roadworthiness status of this motorcycle appears stable, supported by two consecutive clean MOT passes. The most recent test conducted on 01 July 2023 at 15,352 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This clean history suggests the machine has been maintained to a functional standard, as the previous inspection on 24 June 2022 also yielded a clear pass. The recorded mileage of 15,352 over a thirteen-year lifespan averages approximately 1,181 miles per annum, which is significantly below the national average for a motorcycle of this type. While the limited usage suggests the vehicle has not been subjected to high-intensity wear, the lack of MOT data between June 2022 and July 2023, coupled with the absence of any test records since July 2023, indicates the bike has been off the road for over thirteen months. Low-mileage vehicles that sit idle for extended periods often suffer from fuel degradation, seized brake pistons, and perished rubber components that do not always manifest during a basic static inspection. Prospective buyers should prioritise a thorough physical assessment of the fuel system and braking components, as the extended period of inactivity poses a risk of internal corrosion within the fuel tank and fuel lines. Inspect the fork seals for signs of weeping or pitting, as these are common failure points on machines that remain stationary for long durations. Check the condition of the drive chain and sprocket teeth for signs of surface oxidation or stiff links caused by lack of lubrication. Verify that the tyres show no signs of sidewall cracking or flat spots, as these rubber compounds may have aged beyond their effective service life despite the low mileage reading.
