HONDA VFR750F1987 · 0.7L PETROL

The vehicle currently presents a significant roadworthiness risk due to a decade-long lapse in official testing. While the last recorded test in September 2016 at 2,229 miles passed with no defects, the motorcycle has not been inspected for nearly ten years. Given the current date of June 2026, the MOT is long expired. The maintenance trend is effectively stalled, as there is no data to confirm the mechanical or structural condition following the extended period of inactivity. The mileage data reveals a drastic shift in usage patterns. Between May 2014 and May 2015, the bike covered over 5,000 miles in a year, indicating active use during that period. However, the mileage dropped from 98,170 in 2015 to just 2,229 by the next test. This suggests the vehicle has sat stationary for the vast majority of its life. Such prolonged storage often leads to the degradation of rubber components, seized calipers, and internal corrosion within fluid systems regardless of the low odometer reading. A buyer must conduct a thorough physical inspection focusing on components that fail during long stands. The 2015 failure noted excessively rough front wheel bearings and low tyre tread, which suggests the previous owner neglected basic consumables before the storage began. You should check for perished fork seals, cracked fuel lines, and seized brake pistons that frequently lock after disuse. Given the age of the vehicle and the gap in records, the structural integrity of the frame regarding hidden rust is also unknown, as no recent data exists to rule out terminal corrosion.
