Insight summary

Honda Cbf is a very rare model in this snapshot, with 3,597 represented vehicles and 0.01% of the active UK pool tracked by AutoRank. For the last 5 years, it has a pass rate of 82.8% from 25,274 MOT tests, with a reliability score of 52. The current pool shows an average of 16,340 miles and an average age of 8.7 years, while mature-fleet mileage is estimated at 19,251 miles. Petrol leads the fuel split, and the most frequent defect themes are drive chain excessively loose, reflector missing and tyre condition. The practical read is that the Honda Cbf looks like a solid used-car baseline rather than a rare find, with age, mileage and common wear items doing most of the explaining.
