Our Verdict
A strong candidate for a touring enthusiast, provided the mechanical service history matches the clean MOT record. The low mileage for a 1996 model is a significant advantage.
Given the lack of MOT failures, your primary focus should move beyond basic legality and onto mechanical maintenance. Since MOT tests for motorcycles are less comprehensive than cars, you must request a detailed service history to confirm oil changes, valve clearances, and coolant refreshes have been performed.
When negotiating, ask specifically about the age of the tyres, brake fluid, and battery, as these components can degrade through age even if the mileage remains low. Check for any signs of fuel system degradation or perished rubber hoses, which are common in older, low-use motorcycles.
As a large-capacity 1085cc petrol motorcycle, fuel costs will be higher than a commuter bike, though the ST1100 is known for efficient long-distance cruising. Tax and insurance will depend on your specific profile and the bike's classic status, but expect moderate costs typical of a premium tourer.
Maintenance costs for this model are generally predictable, though parts for older Honda models can sometimes carry a premium. An estimated annual running cost of £600-£900 should cover fuel, basic servicing, and insurance, depending on annual mileage.
While the MOT history shows no defects, you should manually inspect the drive system (shaft drive) for any leaks or unusual noises. Check the condition of the braking system, specifically the thickness of the pads and the state of the discs, as these are critical safety components.
Examine the electrical system, including all indicators, brake lights, and the dashboard display, to ensure the age hasn't caused wiring brittleness. Given the low mileage, check for any signs of 'dry rot' on the tyres or seals that may have occurred due to the vehicle sitting stationary for periods.
This 1996 Honda ST1100 presents with a remarkably consistent MOT history, showing no recorded defects across its last five tests. With just 44,028 miles recorded in its most recent March 2026 test, it has covered significantly less than the typical mileage expected for a 30-year-old motorcycle. The red finish and 1085cc engine configuration are characteristic of this classic touring era.
No aggregate MOT reliability data is currently available for the Honda ST1100 to provide a statistical baseline.
