2008 Honda CBR1100XX 1.1L Petrol · YP08 HFV

The 2008 Honda CBR1100XX currently holds a valid MOT certificate dated 1 May 2026, passed cleanly at 35,781 miles with zero defects recorded. The maintenance trend over the past three years is broadly stable and improving. A brake-related failure in October 2024, where the tester flagged rear brake pad material below 1.0 mm and a slight fluctuation of braking effort, appears to have been addressed promptly before the same test was retaken and passed later that same month. The most recent two consecutive passes, including the current certificate, suggest the machine is in sound mechanical order today. The recorded mileage of 35,781 miles over approximately eighteen years equates to a low annual average of roughly 1,988 miles. Accumulation has been gradual and consistent, rising from 32,782 miles in September 2023 to 34,750 miles in October 2024, then to 35,781 miles by May 2026. There are no dramatic jumps or suspicious odometer gaps. Such low annual use typically limits wear on drivetrain and suspension components, though prolonged periods of standing can introduce its own concerns around dried seals, stale fuel, and localised corrosion. The October 2024 failure is the only meaningful flag in the record and centres entirely on the rear braking system. A buyer should physically inspect the rear caliper for signs of binding or uneven piston retraction, check the condition and thickness of the rear brake discs for scoring or lipping, and verify that the rear brake pads have adequate friction material remaining. The rear tyre also failed for low tread depth in April 2026 before the May pass, so the current tyre should be examined for uneven wear patterns that could point to misalignment or a dragging rear brake. Beyond the braking system, the MOT record is otherwise unremarkable. No structural corrosion, suspension defects, or emissions failures have ever been recorded, which is encouraging for a machine of this age. A short test ride focusing on rear brake feel and any pulling or pulsation under deceleration would confirm the earlier fault is fully resolved.
