1987 HONDA C900.1L Petrol

The 1987 Honda C90 presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend, confirmed by the most recent MOT test on 26 July 2025 at 8,999 miles where the tester recorded no defects. The two prior annual tests, on 17 July 2024 at 8,963 miles and 28 July 2023 at 8,853 miles, also passed with no advisories. This three-year clean record shows no worsening faults and no recurring mechanical or structural concerns across the inspected period. The odometer shows remarkably low use for a 39-year-old machine. Between July 2023 and July 2025 the bike covered just 146 miles, averaging roughly 73 miles per year against a lifetime mean near 231. Such minimal accumulation points to extended standing rather than regular riding. The DVSA data carries no gaps or sudden mileage spikes, and the absence of any advisory across all three entries means the history is sparse but clean. A buyer should still inspect the C90 in person for age-related issues the MOT may not capture in detail. Long idle periods invite perished rubber components, stiff clutch and throttle cables, and corroded brake calipers or wheel cylinders despite a pass. Check the frame and exhaust for structural rust, and verify the fork seals and rear suspension bushes for weepage or degradation from disuse. Given the spotless test record and low mileage, previous keepers appear to have stored the machine well and addressed basic roadworthiness before each July deadline. The buyer should budget for consumable renewal rather than major repair, but confirm the fuel system and tyres are not hardened from standing before relying on it for road use.
