2007 Honda Cb 600 F 6

CarHunch analysed 125 real MOT records for the 2007 Honda Cb 600 F 6. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.

This 2007 Honda CB 600 F-6 passes its first MOT 6 percentage points below the UK average at 74%, which is a mild concern but not alarming—about one in four owners hit a failure. The 15.2% rate of dangerous defects is manageable and well below the danger threshold, so you're not looking at a fundamentally unsafe bike.

These machines are averaging 16,326 miles, which is reasonable for their age, and the typical owner faces 1.37 failures and 4.9 advisories per test—suggesting modest wear but nothing dramatic. Check the suspension, brakes, and lighting carefully on any used example you're considering, as those advisories cluster around ageing mechanical components on bikes this old.

What to check before buying a 2007 Honda Cb 600 F 6

Practical pre-purchase checks for this age and model.

  • 📋 Check the full MOT history. Look for recurring advisories — slow-building issues like corrosion or brake wear patterns show up years before they become failures. Enter the reg below for a full AI analysis.
  • 🔍 Inspect for corrosion in person. Brake pipes, sills, subframes, and chassis legs. Surface rust is normal at this age; structural rust is a serious problem that's expensive to fix and can fail an MOT.
  • 🛞 Check tyres and brakes. The most common advisory items at this age. Budget for replacement if they're near the limit — factor this into your offer price.
  • 📄 Run an HPI check. The MOT history won't show outstanding finance, insurance write-offs, or stolen status — an HPI check will.
