1991 Honda ST1100 1.1L Petrol · J740 DDM

The Honda ST1100 presents a stable roadworthiness status based on its most recent test. In the September 2022 test at 78,144 miles the machine passed with no defects recorded, and the September 2021 test at 77,407 miles also passed cleanly. The maintenance trend is steady with no advisories or failures across the two available entries, indicating the recorded checks found no immediate mechanical or structural concerns. The mileage pattern shows very low use for a 35 year old vehicle. Between September 2021 and September 2022 the bike covered only 737 miles, averaging roughly 2,233 miles per year across its life. The record contains just two annual tests with a clean sweep and no gaps beyond the standard yearly cycle, so the data is sparse but consistently unremarkable. Low accumulated distance alongside standing periods suggests light rider demand rather than hard wear on drivetrain or cycle parts. A buyer should still inspect the machine in person for age related issues the MOT does not detail. Long stationary spells on a 1991 chassis often provoke suspension bush hardening, fork seal weeping, and tyre sidewall cracking even when tread passes. The tester logged no corrosion or brake defects, yet caliper binding and disc pitting can develop unseen on stored bikes. Given the clean history and minimal mileage, previous owners likely kept the ST1100 as a occasional runner rather than neglecting core upkeep. Verify battery condition, coolant age, and brake fluid clarity before purchase, as consumable degradation from inactivity will not appear in a pass result.
