2013 Honda CBR 1000 RR-C 1.0L Petrol · YH63 OTD

The 2013 Honda CBR1000RR-C holds a valid MOT certificate issued on 3 July 2025 at 15,913 miles, following a same-day retest after an initial failure for a non-functioning offside front indicator. The maintenance trend is broadly stable but reveals a persistent pattern of minor advisories rather than escalating mechanical defects. The tester flagged a noisy exhaust system at every single test from March 2022 through July 2025, indicating either a deliberate sports exhaust fitment or a deteriorating silencer that has gone unaddressed for over three years. Rear tyre wear close to the legal limit appeared in both the April 2024 and July 2025 tests, suggesting the rear wheel drives wear faster than it should for the mileage covered. A slight fluctuation in rear brake effort was noted in April 2024 but did not recur in 2025, so that issue may have resolved or simply fell within tolerance on the later test. At 15,913 miles over roughly thirteen years, this machine has covered approximately 1,224 miles per year, which is exceptionally low for a large-capacity sports motorcycle. The mileage progression tells a consistent story. It moved from 13,635 miles in March 2022 to 14,318 miles in April 2023, a gain of 683 miles in just over a year, then to 15,592 miles by April 2024, adding 1,274 miles in the following twelve months. The jump to 15,913 miles by July 2025 represents only 321 miles in roughly fifteen months, pointing to very light recent use or a period of storage. The record is clean with no gaps in annual testing, and the mileage accumulation is plausible and consistent with the odometer reading. A buyer should inspect the exhaust system thoroughly, as the repeated noisy-exhaust advisory across four consecutive tests raises the question of whether the bike runs an aftermarket can that may not meet road-legal noise limits or whether internal baffling is breaking down. The rear tyre deserves close scrutiny given it was near the legal limit at both the 2024 and 2025 tests despite minimal mileage between them, which could point to aggressive riding, incorrect tyre pressure, or a misaligned rear wheel and worn drive chain or sprockets. The 2024 rear brake fluctuation advisory, though not repeated, warrants a test of the rear caliper for sticking pistons and an inspection of the disc for uneven wear or corrosion, particularly if the bike has stood for long periods. Low-mileage motorcycles can suffer from deteriorated rubber components, so fork seals, brake hoses, and coolant hoses should be checked for perishing from age rather than use.
