2015 Honda CBR 0.6L Petrol · YR65 KRV

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, though the maintenance trend indicates a reactive approach to repairs rather than preventative care. The most recent test on April 27 2026 at 33,667 miles passed with an advisory for a noisy exhaust. This follows a failure in November 2025 where critical braking and lighting issues were identified and rectified. While the bike is currently passing, the history suggests the owner only addresses mechanical faults once they fail an inspection. The mileage profile is exceptionally low for an eleven-year-old motorcycle, averaging approximately 3,000 miles per year. There is a significant gap in usage between November 2024 and November 2025, where the vehicle covered only 7,180 miles in a full year. This pattern suggests the bike sits stationary for long periods. Low mileage reduces wear on the drivetrain and engine components but increases the risk of perishation in rubber seals, fluid degradation, and internal corrosion within the system due to lack of regular operation. A buyer must inspect the rear braking system closely, as the November 2025 failure for rear brake pads being below the 1.0mm legal threshold. The fact that the pads were worn significantly before the test indicates a lapse in basic consumable inspections. The recurring stop lamp failures across 2024 and 2025 also point to potential wiring issues or a faulty light switch that requires continued monitoring to ensure reliability. The 2026 advisory regarding a noisy exhaust necessitates a physical check for manifold leaks, loose hangers, or internal baffle damage. Given the low mileage and age, the buyer should also check for flat spots on the tyres and perished brake hoses, which are common in vehicles that sit idle for long durations. Structural integrity of the frame should be inspected for rust, as low mileage does not prevent oxidation in damp environments.
