Honda Crf 250 L D (2013)
2013 Honda Crf 250 L D
CarHunch analysed 460 real MOT records for the 2013 Honda Crf 250 L D. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2013 Honda CRF 250 L-D has a first-time MOT pass rate of 78%, which is marginally below the UK average of 80%, suggesting reliability that's solid but not exceptional for its age. One in ten of these bikes have recorded a dangerous defect at some point, which is a modest concern but not alarming for a 11-year-old machine.
With a median mileage of just 5,433 miles, these are lightly-used adventure bikes—many owners clearly treat them as weekend toys rather than daily transport, which explains the relatively low failure rate of 0.62 per vehicle. That said, advisories average 2.2 per test, pointing to minor wear on consumables like chains, brake pads, and cables; budget for routine maintenance and have any advisory items checked before you buy.
What to check before buying a 2013 Honda Crf 250 L D
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.
