Honda Crf250 X (2004)
2004 Honda Crf250 X
CarHunch analysed 199 real MOT records for the 2004 Honda Crf250 X. This breakdown of actual test outcomes — pass rates, defect profiles, mileage data — isn't published anywhere else.
The 2004 Honda CRF250 X passes its MOT on the first attempt 85.5% of the time, which is 5.5 points ahead of the UK average, suggesting this bike is built to last and generally well-maintained by its owners. Dangerous defects are rare at just 7.5%, so safety concerns aren't a red flag here.
These machines are lightly used—the median mileage of 191 suggests most examples are garage queens or weekend riders rather than commuters, which partly explains the strong pass rate. The 4.9 advisories per vehicle point to minor wear items accumulating over time, but with only 1.18 failures per MOT on average, you're looking at a predictable maintenance pattern; if you're considering one, have a pre-purchase inspection focus on fluid seals and exhaust condition, as these tend to be the weak spots.
What to check before buying a 2004 Honda Crf250 X
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.
