1996 Honda PAN European 1.1L Petrol · N614 APY

The 1996 Honda Pan European presents a currently roadworthy status with a stable maintenance trend, evidenced by the most recent DVSA test on 11 April 2025 at 59,641 miles where the vehicle passed with no defects recorded. A failed test logged on the same date at identical mileage but with no defects listed suggests an administrative or procedural rejection rather than a mechanical fault, and the subsequent pass confirms the machine met roadworthiness standards. Across the available five-year record the bike cleared every examination without advisories, indicating no worsening condition and no recurring workshop issues. At roughly 30 years old the recorded odometer shows just 59,641 miles, an average of about 1,988 miles per year, which is low for the age. The mileage trace is sparse but clean: 58,351 miles on 2 June 2021, 59,390 on 31 May 2022, 59,395 on 6 September 2023, then 59,641 on 11 April 2025. The 246-mile gain between 2023 and 2025 and the minimal 5-mile gap from 2022 to 2023 imply long standing periods and very light use. Low annual use of this nature often masks deteriorated rubber components and corrosion while sparing the drivetrain and brake discs from high-cycle wear. A buyer should still commission an in-person inspection of the suspension bushes, fork seals, and rear shock because prolonged inactivity accelerates perishing of elastomers and weeping of hydraulic parts even when an MOT shows no fault. The brake calipers and lines warrant stripping for binding or internal corrosion, as standing brakes seize without rotation. Structural integrity around the frame, exhaust hangers, and wheel bearings needs close visual checks for rust pitting that a clean test sheet will not capture on a machine of this vintage.
