2006 Honda FMX 650-5 0.6L Petrol · WR06 XLO

The vehicle maintains a stable roadworthiness status, having passed its last five consecutive MOT tests. The most recent inspection conducted on 14 June 2025 at 12,359 miles resulted in a pass despite a noted advisory for a noisy exhaust. This indicates a minor mechanical degradation or a leak in the exhaust system that did not meet the threshold for failure, but the overall structural integrity and safety-critical components have remained consistent over the last four years. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twenty-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 618 miles per year. Between 2021 and 2025, the bike covered only 1,043 miles, moving from 11,316 to 12,359 miles. This low usage suggests the vehicle has been used sporadically or kept stationary for long periods. While this limits the wear on the drivetrain, engine, and brake components, a vehicle that sits for long intervals often suffers from degradation of rubber-based parts, fluid ingress, and oxidation. A buyer should prioritize a physical inspection of the exhaust system to address the noise issue flagged in the 2025 test, specifically checking for loose brackets, perished gaskets, or internal corrosion within the manifold. Given the low mileage, it is vital to inspect the age of the tyres and brake hoses for cracking, as rubber degrades over time regardless of tread depth. Additionally, check the brake calipers for seizing due to lack of use and ensure that the low mileage has not masked neglect regarding hidden structural rust within the frame or swingarm.
