2021 Honda CB 500 XA-M 0.5L Petrol · WN21 MDK

This vehicle is in excellent mechanical condition based on its MOT history, showing a stable and clean maintenance trend. The most recent test on 3 March 2026 at 10,325 miles resulted in a pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent pattern of clean passes in March 2025 and March 2024, indicating the motorcycle has been kept in a roadworthy state without recurring mechanical failures. The mileage is notably low for a five year old machine, averaging roughly 2,065 miles per year. A significant jump in usage occurred between the March 2024 test at 3,337 miles and the March 2025 test at 8,549 miles, where the vehicle covered 5,212 miles in a single year. Since then, the usage has slowed, adding only 1,776 miles leading up to the March 2026 inspection. The absence of any advisories regarding brake discs, tyre tread, or chain tension suggests a high standard of preventative care. Because the bike has spent periods of low usage, a physical inspection should focus on signs of stagnation. Check for perished rubber components, battery health, and any surface corrosion on exposed metal parts that can occur when a vehicle sits idle. Verify the condition of the tyres and fluids during a manual check. While the MOT record is flawless, the low total mileage means the tyres may be approaching their age limit rather than their wear limit. Ensure the brake fluid and oil have been changed according to the manufacturer's time intervals rather than just mileage markers.
