2001 Honda VT600 0.6L Petrol · J502 KHY

The most recent MOT on 2025-08-13 shows the vehicle passed with recorded mileage of 2,392 miles, but earlier that same day it also failed with identical mileage. This suggests potential inconsistencies in the testing process or unresolved issues. Key defects included a noisy exhaust (8.1.1 (a)), a slightly loose drive chain (6.1.7 (c) (i)), and a missing front front mud guard. A front position lamp failure (4.2.1 (a)) was also noted in the failed test. These issues overlap with earlier MOT records, indicating persistent problems. Recurring defects since 2021 reveal a pattern of exhaust noise , missing front mud guards , and drive chain slack . The front position lamp failure is a new addition in 2025, but the other issues have remained unresolved for years. Despite multiple passes and failures, no significant repairs appear to have addressed these concerns, suggesting either ongoing neglect or systemic issues with the vehicle’s components. The trend shows stability in defect types but no improvement, raising concerns about long-term reliability. The vehicle’s mileage of 2,392 miles over 34 years equates to roughly 70 miles annually, far below average for its age.
