1994 Honda ST1100 1.1L Petrol · L644 SKD

The vehicle remains roadworthy following its most recent MOT pass in May 2026, though the maintenance history indicates a persistent trend of structural degradation. While the motorcycle has passed its annual inspections, the recurring advisory for corrosion on the lower motorcycle structure has appeared in every test since 2024. Although the tester consistently noted that structural rigidity has not yet been significantly reduced, the constant presence of this fault suggests an ongoing process of oxidation that requires close monitoring. At 32 years old, the recorded mileage of 48,733 miles represents an exceptionally low annual average of approximately 1,500 miles. This low usage pattern is evident across the records, with only 1,288 miles covered between the April 2025 and May 2026 tests. While low mileage often reduces mechanical wear on the engine and drivetrain, it frequently correlates with the aging of rubber components and the accumulation of surface rust during long periods of stationary storage, which likely aligns with the structural corrosion issues identified on the frame. A buyer must prioritise a thorough physical inspection of the lower frame sections to determine if the corrosion is surface-level or indicative of deeper structural decay. The 2025 test also flagged rear brake pads approaching the minimum limit, and the 2023 record noted a rear tyre worn to the legal limit, suggesting that the owner tends to replace consumables only when they reach failure points. Given the age of the vehicle, an inspection should also check for perished brake lines, perished seals, and leaking forks, as these components degrade over time regardless of the low mileage driven.
