2021 Honda NSS 350 A-M 0.3L Petrol · KU21 YZD

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, but the maintenance trend indicates a recent decline in mechanical oversight. While it passed its most recent MOT on 7 May 2026 at 81,532 miles, it failed earlier that same day due to a steering headbearing with excessive wear or free play. This suggests that a critical steering component was addressed only after a failure, marking a shift toward reactive rather than proactive maintenance as the vehicle reached higher mileage brackets. The mileage profile is high for a five-year-old motorcycle, averaging over 16,000 miles per year. There is a significant surge in usage between July 2023 at 31,556 miles and March 2025 at 73,063 miles, where the vehicle covered over 41,000 miles in less than twenty months. This rapid accumulation of high mileage typically places accelerated stress on the drivetrain, braking system, and suspension components, which likely explains the premature failure of the steering bearing during the latest test. A buyer must physically inspect the steering geometry to ensure the headbearing replacement was executed correctly without causing damage to the triple tree or fork seals. Given the high annual mileage, a thorough check of the brake pads, disc thickness, and chain tension is essential to determine remaining service life. You should also look for signs of oil leaks around the front forks and engine, as the high-frequency usage pattern often leads to accelerated degradation of seals that are not always captured in a standard MOT inspection.
