2013 Honda NC 700 XA-C 0.7L Petrol · KV13 AAE

The August 2021 MOT at 43,110 miles passed without any major defect, confirming the vehicle is presently roadworthy, while the repeated brake and suspension advisories across earlier tests indicate a stable but deteriorating trend rather than improvement. Mileage accumulation shows irregular use: from 22,754 miles in July 2016 to 28,082 miles in October 2017 the vehicle covered 5,328 miles in 15 months, then accelerated to 34,991 miles by November 2018 (6,910 miles in one year), followed by a slower increase to 41,349 miles in December 2019 (6,358 miles) and a modest rise to 43,110 miles by August 2021 (1,761 miles over 19 months), suggesting periods of low activity and possible standing. A buyer should inspect the rear brake assembly for pad thickness near the minimum limit, pitted or scored discs, and any binding calipers, as these faults recurred in 2018, 2019 and 2021; examine the front brake pads for wear close to the limit, the drive chain for slack, and the rear wheel bearings for excessive free play, while also checking suspension bushes, coil springs and the exhaust for noise or corrosion, and verifying tyre tread depth against the minimum 1.0 mm requirement. Overall, the vehicle presents as roadworthy but warrants close scrutiny of brake components, suspension condition and structural rust before purchase, as the history demonstrates repeated wear that could affect safety if not addressed.
