1988 Honda NSR250 0.2L Petrol · E812 ERR

This Honda NSR250 presents an exceptionally stable roadworthiness profile. The most recent MOT on 7 April 2026 at 38,956 miles resulted in a clean pass with no defects or advisories recorded. This follows a consistent five-year trend of clean passes, indicating a vehicle that is maintained to a high standard and remains mechanically sound according to DVSA criteria. The mileage pattern suggests a vehicle that has spent significant periods in storage or has been used sparingly. Between 10 October 2022 and 29 November 2024, the odometer moved only 86 miles, showing almost total inactivity for over two years. While the average of 1,025 miles per year is low for a 38-year-old machine, the recent increase to 38,956 miles by April 2026 shows the bike has returned to more regular use. The absence of any recorded defects, advisories, or failures since July 2020 is rare for a motorcycle of this vintage. There are no recurring issues with corrosion, brake binding, or suspension wear listed in the history. This clean record implies a conscientious owner who likely addresses maintenance before the annual inspection. A buyer should still focus on components that MOT testers often overlook or that degrade during periods of inactivity. Inspect the fuel system for gumming and check the condition of the tyres for age-related cracking, even if the tread depth is legal. Verify the operation of the two-stroke oil feed and check for any perished rubber hoses or seals that may have dried out during the 2022 to 2024 dormant period.
