2014 Honda CBF 0.1L Petrol · WM63 PWO

The vehicle presents a stable and largely reassuring roadworthiness profile as of its most recent MOT on 30 June 2025 at 8,699 miles. The tester noted only minor advisories regarding slight cracking and perishing on both the front and rear tyres, with no dangerous or major mechanical defects recorded. A previous failure on 6 May 2022 for an excessively binding rear brake was rectified the same day, and the subsequent tests in 2021 and 2025 both passed cleanly, indicating that the braking issue was addressed rather than left to deteriorate. The mileage pattern is notably low for a 2014 machine. Across roughly twelve years, the odometer has advanced just 167 miles between the April 2019 test at 8,532 miles and the June 2025 test at 8,699 miles, averaging around 28 miles per annum over that six-year window. The earlier interval from May 2021 at 8,564 miles to April 2019 at 8,532 miles shows similarly minimal use. Such sparse accumulation raises the possibility of prolonged stationary periods, which can itself cause deterioration in rubber components, tyres, and brake surfaces through lack of use rather than wear from mileage. Prospective buyers should pay close attention to the condition of both tyres, given the perishing advisory flagged in June 2025. Cracked or aged rubber compromises grip and structural integrity regardless of remaining tread depth, and replacement should be considered a near-term necessity. The rear braking system also warrants a thorough in-person check. Although the binding fault was cleared in 2022, infrequent use can cause calipers to seize and disc surfaces to corrode, so a test drive should confirm that the rear brake releases fully without drag or uneven pull. Beyond these specific items, a general inspection of suspension bushes, exhaust system, and structural corrosion is advisable, as long periods standing can allow moisture to settle in vulnerable areas even on a low-mileage motorcycle.
